Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The fence's height and length create a continuous hard boundary in a prominent location that conflicts with the verdant, softened character of the street scene and local planning policy requiring high quality design that protects local distinctiveness.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HP3 of the Harrogate District Local Plan 2020
