4.4 SI/07/04023/FUL.
24Chalk Lane. Proposed replacement agricultural store, proposed car port, proposed timber fence and gate to entranceway.
Part objection and considered response.
§ Objection to the two metre high close-boarded fence. Placed on the boundary of the nursery property it will obscure the site line for all road users around the right-angled bend of Chalk Lane. The very narrow lane has no footway. There is frequent motor traffic use and the lane is a right-of-way footpath and cycle-way. In addition the very urban fence with security gate would be out of place in the rural scene.
§ No objection in principle to the replacement of the agricultural building and carport. However, the house-like design of the building and fenestration does not look agricultural and the application does not detail the proposed building materials or specifications of the construction.
