Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the fencing and gate, due to their solid design, materials, colour, height, excessive length and location to the front of the property, form an oppressive, stark, and unsympathetic feature within the streetscene which fails to respect the open and spacious character and appearance of the locality and wider area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy P10, saved UDPR Policies N25, BD6 and GP5, and the guidance contained within the Householder Design Guide SPD and advice within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
