Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development upon highway safety
What decided it
The fence's position, height and extent cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and create unacceptable highway safety risks through deficient visibility splays, which cannot be justified by personal circumstances or alternative mitigation measures.
