Core Refusal Reason
The retention of the wooden fence atop the stone wall is visually intrusive, overbearing, and fails to integrate with the streetscape or comply with boundary standards.

- The structure is considered overbearing and unduly prominent, failing to integrate with the existing pattern of development.
- The height of the boundary impedes passive surveillance and contravenes specific boundary policies of the County Development Plan 2022-2028.
