Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • highway safety in regards to visibility when entering/egressing from Mapplewells Crescent

What decided it

The fence's height of 1.8m extending 17m along the frontage severely restricted visibility at the corner junction near a school entrance during periods of high on-street parking, presenting a significant danger to highway safety that could not be adequately mitigated by conditions.
