Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Jones D
Postcode: SK14 4UF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Appeal A Ground (c): whether the erection of a timber panel fence constitutes a breach of planning control
Appeal A Ground (f): whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
Appeal A Ground (g): whether the period for compliance is reasonable
Appeal B: the effect of the proposed boundary treatment on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The timber panel fence is a new replacement boundary treatment rather than maintenance or alteration of the former structure, and therefore does not benefit from permitted development rights under the GPDO; the proposed boundary treatment would be visually incongruous and harmful to the character and appearance of the area.
