Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed fencing upon the character and appearance of the street scene

What decided it

The siting of the fencing without a landscaped buffer close to a sharp bend would appear jarring and inconsistent with the softer boundary treatments that characterise the street, thereby harming the open and spacious character and appearance of the street scene.
