Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the information submitted pursuant to conditions 4 and 14 would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the South Hale Conservation Area and be adequate to agree the details reserved by the conditions
What decided it
The dark grey brick boundary wall fails to preserve the characteristic consistent boundary treatment of the South Hale Conservation Area and causes less than substantial harm to its significance which is not outweighed by public benefits, and the traffic light system cannot be implemented without securing the boundary wall details.
