Why it was refused

  1. The proposed boundary fencing, by reason of its siting, height, design and appearance, would project further towards the highway than the originally approved boundary treatment and would appear as a prominent and incongruous feature within the street scene, particularly given the site's corner-plot location and its visibility from the public realm. The planting required to soften and screen the fencing would conflict with the visibility requirements identified by Essex County Council Highways, while the removal of such planting would result in an unacceptable visual impact. The proposal would therefore fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the area and would give rise to highway safety concerns, contrary to Policies SP7 and SPL3 of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond, Policy CP1 of the Tendring District Local Plan 2013-2033 and Beyond, and paragraphs 109, 115 and 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
