Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of the fence constitutes development requiring planning permission or falls within permitted development rights
- Whether the fence is a replacement of an existing fence and therefore does not require planning permission
- Whether the enforcement notice was issued outside the four-year time limit for enforcement action
What decided it
The erection of a new fence, even as a replacement, constitutes development requiring planning permission, and the fence exceeds the 1-metre height limit permitted by the General Permitted Development Order for fences adjacent to highways.
