Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The imposing front boundary treatment with brick piers, infill panels and gates would remove natural surveillance, create a threatening streetscene, and fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the area contrary to Policy CLP20.

The perceived need for security within the plot was outweighed by the serious harm to the character and appearance of the area and the harmful precedent such a solution would create if followed by others
