Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The fence creates a harsh, visually intrusive and overly prominent hard edge in a corner location that significantly harms the distinctive verdant character and appearance of the local area, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the private benefits of security and privacy.
