Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 The Burrells, regarding sunlight and daylight, and outlook

What decided it

The proposed tall fence would be harmfully dominant and incongruous in its prominent siting, unacceptably eroding the spacious suburban character that contributes positively to the street scenes and sense of place.

Development plan policies
Policy 15 of the Adur Local Plan 2017
