Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the fence on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the fence on highway safety
What decided it
The fencing creates a discordant and obtrusive feature that harms the rural agricultural character of the area and severely limits visibility at the access point, creating unacceptable highway safety risks on a busy thoroughfare.
The harm to character and appearance and highway safety outweighed any security benefits claimed for the caravan park use, with the fallback position of reduced-height fencing affording only limited weight.
