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 wooden fence immediately behind the pavement introduces a harsh, stark and forbidding element into the street scene that conflicts with the spacious, open character of the cul-de-sac entrance and cannot be sufficiently ameliorated by the proposed height reduction or painting.
