Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required to comply with the enforcement notice are excessive, and whether lesser steps would overcome the objections to the fence
What decided it
The requirements of the enforcement notice are necessary to remedy the injury to amenity caused by the fence's excessive height and imposing appearance in the street scene, and lesser steps would not adequately address this harm.
