Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the fence lies adjacent to the highway such that it exceeds the 1m height limit for means of enclosure under permitted development rights

What decided it

The fence, being set back 1.8m from the highway with intervening landscape features and retaining structures, does not lie adjacent to the highway and therefore benefits from the 2m height limit for permitted development rather than the 1m limit.
