Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the boundary fence upon the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of a grade II listed building at 1 Academy Fields Road, formerly the Frances Bardsley Lower School

What decided it

The fence is appropriate in terms of size and appearance to its residential context and has a neutral effect on the setting of the adjacent grade II listed building, such that the building's significance as a heritage asset remains unaffected.
