General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, incorporates existing features like vegetation, provides amenity/safe access, avoids road safety issues, and accounts for security. The officer assessed the fencing against criteria b, c, f, h, i, and m, finding it compliant due to limited visibility, integration with vegetation, resolved highway safety, and enhanced privacy/security.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
