Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The height and extent of the fence would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a hard, obtrusive feature in a prominent location that conflicts with Policy ENV1, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the security and litter-prevention benefits which could be achieved through alternative boundary treatments.
The security and litter-prevention benefits of the fence do not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
