Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal fence on the amenity enjoyed by the occupants of the neighbouring property, No. 238 Irby Road

What decided it

The fence height of 2.5m is unacceptably high for a domestic rear garden boundary and materially harms the amenity of the neighbouring property through overshadowing and loss of openness.
