Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works alleged in the notice constitute a contravention of listed building control (ground (c))
  • Whether the works were urgently necessary in the interests of safety and limited to the minimum measures immediately necessary (ground (d))

What decided it

The new wall's attachment, height and differing appearance were found to have a significant adverse effect on the character of the listed garden wall, meaning it contravened listed building control, and the works were not limited to the minimum measures immediately necessary.
