Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the dwellings at 11 and 11a Broomwood Way, having regard to the provision of private outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The wall causes unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the living conditions of occupiers through restriction of private amenity space, conflicting with the Development Plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
