Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The height of the fence is disproportionate to the boundary treatments used within the residential estate and is visually harmful to the open plan character and appearance of the immediate surroundings.

The security benefits to the appellant do not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area.
