Give us feedback on this service
The 1.8m high close-boarded fencing adjacent to the highway, by virtue of its location, height and design, has introduced a highly prominent visually discordant and incongruous feature that is out of keeping with its surroundings and that are predominately characterised by low boundary walls (some with infill railings above or hedge planting behind them). The proposal is therefore materially detrimental to local visual amenity and does not convey sensitive consideration to its surroundings contrary to Local Development Framework Development Management Policy DM1 (A) and which is supported by Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 9 'Householder Developments' (paragraphs 3.1 [A] and 16.1 to 16.5).
