®Planning appeal decision
22 Mast Lane, North Shields, Tyne and Wear , NE30 3DE
described on the planning application form as: “1.8 metre fence at front with a bin store & storage cupboard running from the fence, up the driveway toward the house. Internal height of fence 1.5m. Height is the same as numerous other fences in the street (No 4, 26, 34 & 36) so is in keeping with these. It also ensures that the dog is safe in the front garden & doesn't notice the people walking past so no jumping up at fence or barking

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development, specifically the fence, on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The fence's height and solid appearance dominate the front of the property and appear out of character with the prevailing form of the streetscape, causing harm that is not outweighed by the appellant's security concerns.
