Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider street scene

What decided it

The proposed boundary wall's contemporary design would contrast with both the host property's arts and crafts character and the area's established open and verdant frontage treatments, causing significant harm to character and appearance contrary to local and national policy.
