Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the fence upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The fence's solid, unbroken form along the entire front boundary, tight to the lane, creates a visually prominent and intrusive feature that is out of keeping with the area's semi-rural character and verdant qualities, conflicting with development plan policies requiring boundary treatments to respond positively to local context.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy TD1 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan Part 1: Strategic Policies and Sites February 2018Policy DM4 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan Part 2: Site Allocations and Development Management Policies March 2023Policy FNP1 of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan 2013-2032
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
