Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the erection of the close boarded fence and gate constitutes a breach of planning control under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The fence and gate are adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic and exceed the 1 metre height limit permitted by the General Permitted Development Order Schedule 2 Part 2 Class A, and no express planning permission has been granted, therefore constituting a breach of planning control.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
