Ivy Cottage, 7 Rosemount Lane, Lyncombe

There is not enough information in the application to properly assess the proposal. The large retaining wall with arch is a positive feature on this lane within the conservation area as is the smaller wall with railings. The high wall also appears to be functional as a retaining structure. We are concerned regarding the removal of this structure/alteration of this structure and what the area/house/drive would look like following the works, therefore we recommend the applicant provide further information such as an elevation drawing to show the house and ‘drive’ post-alteration, and also that the applicant consult a structural engineer for advice regarding the retaining wall
