Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the fence as erected constitutes development under section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • Whether Condition 4 of planning permission BR/155/78 prevents the erection of the fence and whether it is permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015

What decided it

Condition 4 of planning permission BR/155/78 clearly removes permitted development rights for any fence erected in front of the forwardmost parts of buildings fronting a highway, and the fence in question was constructed in breach of this condition.
