Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The provision of open space

What decided it

The proposed fence would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area by eroding the open and verdant feel of the path and conflicting with the development plan without material considerations to outweigh this harm.
