Why it was refused
- The proposed replacement fence, by reason of siting, design and materials, would be harmful to the appearance of this part of the conservation area, adjacent to the public footpath. This harm is less than substantial with no public benefit to outweigh this harm. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies CS19 and CS22 of the Core Strategy, policies SP15 and SP20 of the Site Allocations and Policies DPD and policies BD1 and CH1 of the Neighbourhood Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
