Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by eroding the verdant sense of spaciousness and disrupting the linear grassland strip through a change in wall alignment, conflicting with local plan policies requiring enhancement of local character and protection of visual amenity spaces.
