Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the timber fencing fronting St Georges Road and the single storey side extension on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and building
What decided it
The timber fence's height, solid design and prominent position along St Georges Road created a stark, defensive enclosure that eroded the street's sense of openness and contrasted with the low-level, unobtrusive boundaries characteristic of the surrounding residential area, whereas the side extension's modest height and deep position within the plot ensured it would remain subservient and unobtrusive.
