- Inspector
- Jones D
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.
