PA/2025/1961 - Listed building consent (Alt/Ext) Under Consultation

Proposal

Listed Building Consent for the repair of masonry garden wall; to include a section of the wall being removed in its entirety, from the gate opening to the outbuilding or the wall taken down to a height at which a collapse is no longer a realistic possibility. Plus the section of wall at site of settlement and the existing large pier at the northwest end to be taken down and reconstructed on a new foundation at the end of the remaining section of the wall, with the full length of the remaining wall being provided with a coping that incorporates a DPC to maximise the remaining life of the wall.
