Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed fence would introduce a visually intrusive feature that would unacceptably erode the open and verdant character and appearance of the area, particularly given the site's prominent position at a gateway to the housing development.
The benefits of approving the proposed development would be substantially outweighed by adverse effects on character and appearance, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS6 of the Shropshire Local Development Framework: Adopted Core Strategy (March 2011)Policy MD2 of the Shropshire Council Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan (17/12/2015)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Policy S4Policy DP3
