Core Refusal Reason
The development proposed for retention materially contravenes Condition 4 of Ref: 06D.248079, Condition 2 of Ref: 06D.313426, and Condition 2 of Ref: 319755, which specifically limited the height of boundary piers and gates to 1.1 metres in the interest of public safety and visibility.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The retention of the walls and piers (ranging from 1.5m to 2.1m) is in material contravention of conditions attached to three previous planning permissions for the site.

- There has been no material change in circumstances since the original 'parent' permission in 2017 to justify a departure from these safety-focused height requirements.
