Planning Decision

Why it was refused

The proposed boundary gates, railings and brick piers by reason of their siting, materials, poor design, height, form and appearance, constitutes an overly dominant and incongruous addition which is considered to be an alien and obtrusive feature which fails to respect open character of the area and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider streetscene, contrary to and as such is contrary to Policy 28 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018 and the advice in Supplementary Planning Document 14 'Creating Locally Distinctive Places'.

From the council's decision notice.
