Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regard to outlook
What decided it
The height and solid form of the fence results in an adverse effect on the outlook from neighbouring properties that cannot be justified by the appellant's security concerns, as the fence adjoins private gardens rather than public access areas.
The harm to neighbouring living conditions and outlook outweighed the appellant's security and privacy concerns, with a lower fence providing a proportionate and reasonable compromise.
