About this application

This is a planning application at The Shack Church Lane Bush Estate Eccles-on-sea Norwich Norfolk NR12 0SY. North Norfolk has handled 12,483 applications of this type. This one was decided in 63 days, 2 weeks longer than North Norfolk's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 3,112 applications in total for the NR12 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal by virtue of its height and scale covering the entire frontage of a corner plot within the estate is considered to fail to reflect the characteristics of the local area. Furthermore, the overall scale of the fence is considered to be inappropriate and harmful to local visual amenity as well as conflicting with local character. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy ENV8. This Decision refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning Acts and does not include any consent or approval under any other enactment, bylaw, order or regulation.

From the council's decision notice.
