The proposal consists of replacing the existing fencing that is installed around the site's external car park, located to the north of the site's boundary. The proposed fencing would retain the same pedestrian access points as the existing installation. It would be installed on the same boundary line and at the same height. The only exception to this being that a reduced height 'Knee Rail' is proposed to replace the existing roadside one-metre-high fence installation at the east side of the car park.
