Objections and consultation
The ward member and parish council objected to the wall’s height, length and impact, while highways raised no objection and ecology made no representation.
“Consistency is an issue. In June of 2022 an application in the Priors Marston conservation area (21/03940/FUL) the applicants were advised against a wall of similar height and that a hedge would be acceptable. The high wall was then withdrawn, and a low wall substituted and approved.”
“Priors Hardwick Parish Council: – Objection (08/04/2025)”
