Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed fence would cause significant harm to both the character and appearance of the area and highway safety by restricting visibility at an adjacent access, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts with the development plan.
