37 Summerhouse Lane Thornwell Chepstow Monmouthshire NP16 5SP
Retrospective planning for the erection of a wooden fence that adjoins the public footpath. There is an existing brick wall there which was erected when the house was originally built. The wooden fence will be 3 metres high from the level of the pavement. The property garden is 10 feet lower than the road surface and without the protection of the fence, the public could be injured as it would be easy for an accident to happen and someone fall over the 1m brick wall, as well as the tenants right to privacy as the public would be able to see directly into the living room patio doors. This is a public footpath and regularly used for children walking to/from school the fence is primarily a safety issue.
