Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed fence would cause very significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a solid wooden structure that would be visually incongruous with the uniform brick piers and railings that define the streetscene, particularly if the existing landscaping were to be reduced or removed.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
S1.4DM6.1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 12

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.
