Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having specific regard to the identification of the appeal property as a Non-designated Heritage Asset

What decided it

The proposed fence and gate would harm the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and the surrounding area by introducing incongruous, dominant visual barriers that fail to assimilate into the prevailing open character of the group of barn conversions.
