Why it was refused

  1. The proposed fence, by virtue of its design, height, scale, elevated position and relationship with neighbouring windows, would amount to a visually prominent, obtrusive, dominant and incongruous form of development, which would lead to a loss of light, appear overbearing and reduce the level of outlook to the first floor flat of no. 15 High Street Hythe, giving rise to detrimental harm to the residential amenities and living conditions of the occupiers of this property. The application is therefore contrary to policies HB1 and HB8 of the Places and Policies Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
