Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that, by reason of its inappropriate position which extends into the Public Right of Way (PROW), the change of use of land to domestic gardens and the erection of new boundary fencing has resulted in a detrimental impact on the width of the PROW which impedes the free and unobstructed use for users. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy P10 of the Core Strategy, saved policies GP5 and LD1 of the UDPR and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
