Core Refusal Reason
The retention of timber panel fencing is considered substandard in quality and visually poor, while also materially contravening previous planning conditions that required the retention and repair of an existing stone wall.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The two-meter-high timber treated panel fencing with concrete posts represents a substandard and visually poor quality development for the residential site.
- The development materially contravenes Conditions 1 and 12 of previous permissions (PL 16/93 and PL 21/122), which required the existing stone wall to be retained and repaired.
- The proposal is contrary to the approved site boundary details and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
