Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the erection of a high timber fence at the side constitutes a breach of planning control, specifically whether the fence is 'adjacent' to a highway used by vehicular traffic for the purposes of permitted development restrictions

What decided it

The higher portion of the fence, despite the partial reduction in height, remains sufficiently 'near or close to' the highway to be considered adjacent to it for the purposes of permitted development restrictions, and therefore the enforcement notice was properly issued.
