Conditions / Reason for Refusal: 01 The proposed fencing and gate by virtue of their height, length, siting and appearance to the front of the property in a prominent position has introduced an incongruous feature which is clearly visible within the street scene and is detrimental to the appearance of the host property, as well as the streetscene and character of the area in general.
