Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The location of the site within an industrial area where similar palisade fences are commonplace meant the proposed fence would not be incongruous or dominant within the streetscene, and the limited value of the existing hedge meant its removal would not result in harm to character or appearance.
