Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The acceptability of the appearance on the street scene of the appeal front boundary fence to No. 15 Woodthorpe Drive, Woodthorpe
What decided it
The fence's excessive height, considerable length of uninterrupted solidity, and bleak appearance significantly and adversely affected the street scene and did not fit comfortably with the generally pleasant residential character of the surrounding area.
