Planning History

There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.

## Proposal

The application, which is a retrospective application, seeks approval for the erection of fence. The fence runs along the western boundary of the site shared with 54 Howe Road. The fence is 2 metres in height, however due to the ground level differences between the two neighbouring properties, the fence height when measure from ground levels varies from 1.8 metres up to a maximum height of 2.5 metres.

### Representations

Do not oppose
The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

### Assessment / recommendation

The proposal is a minor proposal which will have no impact upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties given the height of the fence and the benefits the fence will give to the two neighbouring properties. For these reasons the proposal would be appropriate in these locations and therefore the application is recommended is for an approval.
