Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed wall would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its excessive height and incongruous rendered finish, which would not accord with the development plan, and alternative security measures could achieve the appellant's objectives with less harm.

Development plan policies
ST1
