Minutes:
Item 1 Application 4033/15 Proposal Erection of close boarded timber fence to existing brick wall on highway boundary. Site Location WOOLPIT – East View, Mill Lane Applicant Mrs J Storey
The Case Officer presented the report and detailed the application and the area surrounding it, drawing Members attention to the close proximity of both the village hall and the primary school, which Mill Lane serves. He also detailed the narrow nature of the road.
Jane Storey, the Applicant began by advising that there were no pavements along Mill Lane, and Highways had suggested that no vehicles would travel over 15mph when using Mill Lane. The height of the fence on the inside of the garden was no more than 1.5m high, with the level from the highway to garden varying up to .5m higher. The Applicant had two large dogs, and the fence had been erected to enclose and protect the dogs and also to give security and privacy to the Applicant. She advised that a police report had been filed as there was concern the dogs had been targeted for dog fighting. She also advised that in the vicinity of her property there was a close boarded fence that was 1.8m high.
Members debated the application where they noted that visibility for access and egress from the application site would be limited further by the addition of a fence and did not consider this acceptable. It was considered the impact on the Conservation Area was not sufficient to be included as reason for refusal.
By a unanimous vote

• Detrimental to highway safety by further limiting visibility along Mill Lane, contrary to Local Plan policy T10
