Why it was refused

  1. In the interests of design, visual amenity and impact on the conservation area; the walls/fences/gates by virtue of their form and prominent position are considered to be out of character with the predominant boundary treatments which define this part of the conservation area. The proposals are considered to create an adverse impact on the visual amenity of the property in particular as well as the wider streetscene and conservation area in general and would set an unacceptable precedent for similar developments. The proposals are therefore contrary to the terms of Policies 7, 14 and 16 of NPF4 (2023), Policies 1, 10 and 14 of the Adopted FIFEplan (2017), and Cadham Village Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan.
  2. In the interests of preserving visual amenity, natural heritage and biodiversity; the adverse impact on and potential loss of the remaining trees on the site would have an adverse impact on the visual amenity, natural heritage and biodiversity of the property and its place in the conservation area, contrary to adopted NPF4 Policies 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 14, and adopted LDP Policies 1, 10, 13 and 14.
