Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed wall would be an excessively solid, dominating and incongruous enclosure that would harmfully contrast with the verdant character and modest boundary treatments typical of the area.

Policy CP3
