Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposed boundary treatment would be visually dominant and incongruous with the understated residential character of the locality, and would unduly restrict visibility splays for pedestrians, contrary to adopted development plan policies on design and highway safety.
