®Planning appeal decision
28 Whitehill, Leam Lane Estate, Felling, GATESHEAD, NE10 8NQ
To erect a wooden boundary fence on top of the existing brick boundary wall. The purpose of the boundary fence is to provide privacy in my garden which is the main garden area of my property which is a corner plot and overlooked by all other residents of the access road and Cul-de-sac in Whitehill. It is to provide added security to my home as access can easily be gained to my garden, back door and rear of my premises. It will also provided (sic) safety for my child, partner and family pet as access to the surrounding roads is easily obtained due to the current low boundary wall. It will also provide safety for any further children I may have

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The character and appearance of the street scene
- Highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause both detrimental harm to the character and appearance of the street scene and create highway and pedestrian safety concerns through reduced visibility, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts with the development plan.
