Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The fence's height and style are consistent with other front boundary treatments in the area, particularly on corner plots, and its setback behind a verge prevents it from appearing incongruous or visually imposing in the street scene.

Development plan policies
Policy ENV8
