Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful development was well founded with particular regard as to whether it has been demonstrated that the proposed fence would be permitted development under Class A of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)

What decided it

The proposed fence at 2 metres in height exceeds the 1 metre maximum height restriction for fences adjacent to highways used by vehicular traffic under Class A of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order 2015, and therefore is not permitted development.
