Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposal would have been lawful as at the date of the LDC application

What decided it

The retractable nature of the bollards and the large gaps between them mean they do not form a continuous barrier and lack sufficient similarity to gates, fences or walls to qualify as an 'other means of enclosure' under permitted development.
