Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact that the development has on the character and appearance of the landscape and riverscape
- Whether the steps required to comply with the requirements of the notice are excessive and whether lesser steps would overcome the objections
What decided it
The harmful visual impact of the unauthorised development on the character and appearance of the National Landscape, combined with the realistic fallback position of permitted development rights for a reduced-height gateway, led to the enforcement notice being upheld with a variation allowing gateway height reduction.
