128 Carr Avenue, Leiston, IP16 4AT

Planning appeal 3297614 at 128 Carr Avenue, Leiston, IP16 4AT (East Suffolk) was dismissed on 13 December 2022 by Inspector Bell-Williamson J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the proposed erection of the fence on the character and appearance of the street scene, including the effect on use of the adjacent public footpath.

I would like to move the boundary fence to the border of what is on the deeds of the property. The fence is currently running to the rear of the property which is adjacent to private car parking spaces with vehicular access for residents, this will not be moved any closer to the driveway or cause any obstruction to vehicles manoeuvring in or out of spaces. The fence then runs down to the side of the property to where it meets the house, this would be moved out to run along the pathway and extended to the front of the property. The fence will not be moved any closer to the area with vehicular access, only closer to the pathway and then extended to the front of the property. All of this will be done within the boundary deeds as per the HM Land registry document included when buying the house
