Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the erection of a timber fence in the garden adjacent to Penrose Street constitutes a breach of planning control

What decided it

The fencing is a permanent feature requiring planning permission, and there is no evidence it would qualify as permitted development under the General Permitted Development Order 2015 given its height and proximity to the highway.
