Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- effects on highway safety, with particular regard to visibility from the access onto The Street
What decided it
The proposal causes harm to both character and appearance through the domestic-style boundary fencing in a rural setting, and to highway safety through substandard visibility at the access, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these conflicts with the development plan.
