Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the fence unduly harms the setting of the Adelphi
- Whether the fence is unduly harmful to the townscape on this prominent site
What decided it
The stark, industrial character of the fence unduly harms the setting of the Listed Building and the character of this prominent townscape, and this harm outweighs the limited security benefits that could have been achieved with a more appropriate design.
The limited benefit of securing the site boundary against fly-tipping was outweighed by the less-than-substantial harm to the setting of the Listed Building and the harm to the character and appearance of the prominent townscape
