Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings, the 'Almshouses', and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Beer Conservation Area

What decided it

The prominence, height, materials and contemporary design of the fence cause unwarranted harm to the setting of the listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area, with no sufficient public benefits to justify this harm under paragraph 215 of the Framework.

Framework references: 212, 213, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy EN10, Policy HBE2
