Why it was refused

  1. The existing boundary fencing and sliding gates, by virtue of their height, continuous solid appearance, dark finish and prominent siting adjacent to Tally Ho Road, result in a visually impermeable and urbanising feature which is incongruous with the rural character of the surrounding area, to the detriment of visual amenity. The development therefore fails to respond positively to the established character, distinctiveness and sense of place of the locality, contrary to Policies SP1, SP6 and ENV3a of the Ashford Local Plan 2030 and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
