Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the fence on the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
  • the effect of the fence on the setting of nearby heritage assets

What decided it

The fence introduces an incongruous urban structure within a rural National Landscape setting and harms the setting of a group of heritage assets, with minimal public benefits that do not outweigh this harm.
