to erect timber fencing to separate our land from surrounding properties. We request permission from the Council to fence our property, which is located at 33a Cromer Road and 2 Boleyn Way. The fence's purpose is to protect our property from intruders and for security reasons related to the construction work that we plan on carrying out on our property. We want to request permission from the Council to fence the boundaries of our land to protect our property. The application is for permission to erect timber fencing to separate the plot from the surrounding land. We also need to remove the tree, which is not TPO protected, and the council has already approved the removal of the tree

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on trees
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 33A Cromer Road and 2 Boleyn Way with particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, to trees and biodiversity, and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations indicating a decision contrary to the plan should be reached.
