Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The solid brick wall's discordant appearance and height are not in keeping with the existing local character of low-level front boundary treatments, and no evidence supports that alternative softer boundary treatments could not provide adequate privacy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP10
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
