Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, in particular the streetscene

What decided it

The fence causes unacceptable harm to the open and verdant character and appearance of the streetscene by being an unsympathetic and visually prominent form of enclosure that fails to respect the predominant means of boundary treatment in the surrounding residential area.
