Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the notice requirements are excessive
- Whether the period for compliance is unreasonably short
What decided it
The fence was erected as a single operational development, so it must be assessed as a whole; as the front section exceeds 1m in height and is adjacent to the highway, none of the fence qualifies as permitted development.
