Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the current and future maintenance of utilities and other associated works within the adopted highway verge
What decided it
The fence's limited visibility due to its corner plot location at the end of a cul-de-sac, combined with screening from existing landscaping and consistency with other fencing in the area, meant it did not unacceptably harm character and appearance, and did not obstruct utilities or maintenance access.
