| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed fencing by virtue of its height, length, siting and appearance in a prominent position would introduce an incongruous feature which would be clearly visible within the street scene and would be detrimental to the appearance of the host property, scene and character of the area in general. As such the development is contrary to Local Plan policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Development’ and SP58 ‘Design Principles’, as well as the Council’s SPD Householder Design Guide’ and the NPPF.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. Whilst discussions during the determination of the application have identified a possible acceptable alternative to this proposal, the applicant has been unwilling to amend the scheme. This was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and resulted in this refusal.
