Planning appeal 3336471 at 22 Mast Lane, North Shields, Tyne and Wear , NE30 3DE (North Tyneside Council) was dismissed on 24 April 2024 by Inspector Storey P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the development, specifically the fence, on the character and appearance of the area.

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
