About this application

This is a planning application at Woodlands Himley Lane Himley DUDLEY DY3 4LW. South Staffordshire has handled 4,413 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 333 applications in total for the DY3 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. On the balance of probability, the applicant has not demonstrated that the proposed fencing would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 2, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). As a matter of fact and degree, the proposed 2-metre-high sections of fencing would, by reason of their position, alignment, proximity and relationship with Himley Lane, constitute a means of enclosure adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic. As the fencing would exceed 1 metre in height, it would not comply with the limitation in paragraph A.1(a)(ii) of Class A and would therefore require planning permission

From the council's decision notice.
