Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the host building and street scene at Nether Edge Road

What decided it

The pergola structures are of excessive scale, protrude into the street scene, and are highly incongruous with the conservation area character, causing unacceptable harm that is not outweighed by any public benefit.
