Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The 1.8m solid timber fence causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a harsh, defensive enclosure that unacceptably contrasts with the softer, more open frontage treatment elsewhere and erodes the open and cohesive character of the street.
