Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed carport on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- whether the proposed fence would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the adjacent Grade II Listed Building, the Lychgate
- the effect of the fence on safety and security, having particular regard to natural surveillance and the risk of anti-social behaviour and criminal behaviour
What decided it
The proposed carport projecting beyond the telegraph pole and the 1.9m boundary fence extending to the front of the property would significantly erode the openness of the street and fail to preserve the character or appearance of the conservation area, lacking clear and convincing justification for harm to the designated heritage asset.
