Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity caused by the erection of a two-metre-high fence adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic

What decided it

The fence is adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic and therefore requires planning permission under the GPDO limitations, and the enforcement notice's requirement to reduce the entire fence to one metre height is necessary to remedy the breach and injury to amenity caused.
