My guess is the planners will be concerned with sight lines for you exiting your driveway. You need to be able to see pedestrians approaching. Probably why wall B was built at an angle.

Either consult an architect who has experience of these types of applications, and/or your LA planning department.
Alternatively, if you want to go it alone, ask for a consultation interview with your planning officer to see what he/she will accept and what compromise is possible. Obviously take plans/drawings/photos to illustrate your case. A laptop with your interactive photo would impress but whether it would help your case, I'm not so sure. Incidentally, it doesn't work in this instance. You may need to provide a link to it, in your library.

If you have special reasons for security, mention them but in a residential development like this you may need to tread carefully on that subject.

To add; a compromise could consist of see-through railings and gate, perhaps atop a low wall. In which case you might think about retaining part of the walls A & B.
