Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions are reasonable or necessary, having regard to the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The visual prominence and urbanising character of close-boarded and panel fencing on the wider appeal garden would be significantly harmful and incongruous in the rural settlement context, justifying retention of a condition restricting such fencing, while other elements of the conditions lacked clear justification.

- Development plan policies
- Policy C6 of the Salisbury District Local Plan 2011Core Policy 51 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy 2015Core Policy 57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy 2015Policy 50 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy 2015
