Why it was refused

  1. The proposed close-boarded timber boundary fence, by reason of its materials, appearance and prominent siting along the site's boundaries, would form an unsympathetic and visually intrusive feature within the street scene. The extensive use of close-boarded timber fencing on this prominent corner plot would appear incongruous and of a poor design quality, failing to reflect the prevailing character of the surrounding area or the adjacent Ickenham Village Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies BE1 and HE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One - Strategic Policies (2012) and Policies DMHB 1, DMHB 4, DMHB 11, DMHB 12 and DMHD 1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020).

From the council's decision notice.
