The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • highway safety with particular regard to visibility

What decided it

The grey boarded fence is harmful to character and appearance and highway safety, with no material considerations outweighing the development plan conflict, whereas the hardstanding and artificial grass elements are acceptable and severable from the fence.
