Why it was refused
- By virtue of the design, scale and positioning of the fencing, which is adjacent to the highway and prominent within the public realm, the development will have a harmful visual impact on the street scene and the character of the local area. The development is therefore contrary to policies SWDP21 and SWDP 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, Policies HAL3 and HAL4 of the Hallow Neighbourhood Development Plan, the Design Guide SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
