Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the close boarded timber fencing by reason of its siting forward of the principle elevation of the dwelling, its height, length and prominent position, enclosing the existing open frontage, would result in an overly dominant feature which would be out of keeping with the existing open verdant character of the surrounding area and harmful to the visual amenities of the streetscene, to the detriment of the surrounding public realm. The proposal is considered to fail to accord with Core Policy 9 of the Amended Core Strategy (2019) and policies DM5 and DM6 of the Allocations and Development Management DPD (2013) as well as the Council's Householder Design Guide SPD (2014) and the NPPF (2024) which are material planning considerations.
  2. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the close boarded timber fencing by reason of its siting, height, length and design would result in an unacceptable reduction in amenity within the neighbouring dwelling house number 2 Raddle Way through overbearing and overshadowing effects. Planning Application: 26/00481/HOUSE The proposal is considered to fail to accord with policies DM5 and DM6 of the Allocations and Development Management DPD (2013) as well as the Council's Householder Design Guide SPD (2014) and the NPPF (2024) which are material planning considerations.

From the council's decision notice.
