Description

Installation of a 0.8m high fence on top of existing 1m high stone boundary wall at the front of the property (total boundary height of 1.8m along an 18m section). The purpose of the proposed change is to increase privacy, security and reduce traffic noise, whilst also preventing the existing hedge having adverse impact on visibility splay, improving safety for both pedestrians and vehicles. The proposed height is consistent with neighbouring properties and character of the area. The fence colour has been selected to blend with existing boundary features.
