Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the repositioning of the boundary fence on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The repositioning of the boundary fence would unacceptably harm the open and verdant character and appearance of Dencer Drive by removing established landscaping and positioning high fencing close to the pavement, contrary to Policy BE1 and the Residential Design Guide.
