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.

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
