Why it was refused

  1. The proposals are contrary to Dumfries and Galloway Council Local Development Plan 2 Policy HE1 and National Planning Framework 4 Policy 7 in that the siting and utilitarian design and finish of the installed guardrails have an unduly adverse impact on the character and appearance of Nith Bridge, a Category A listed building i.e. one of national importance.

From the council's decision notice.
