Planning application
Ashford Prep School, Ashford Road, Great Chart, TN23 3DJ
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
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.
