Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The fence's dominant, stark appearance and dark material palette are fundamentally at odds with the prevailing open character of the surrounding area, making it an incongruous and uncharacteristic feature that cannot be assimilated into the street scene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS74 of the Sheffield Development Framework Core Strategy (2009)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
