Change of use from open space to domestic curtilage, with the erection of a 1.8m high boundary fence to the rear of the property

the erection of new bungalow including garage, landscaping and road access

the unauthorised removal of approximately 25m of protected hedgerow, the installation of an authorised site access onto the land from Neasham Road, Hurworth, with the laying of hardcore materials to form an access road up to Brickyard Farm Cottage

replacement and relocation of rear garden boundary fence. Additional hardstanding to front of dwelling. Fence moved out by 950mm to the south to encompass the perimeter grass strip outside of the fence line. The reason for this being that the strip of grass outside the fence line was being repeatedly used by dogs when being walked and the applicant was having to pick up dirt as a result. The narrow strip of grass was also difficult to maintain. Due to the difference in levels between garden and perimeter str ip previously outside of the fence line, the new fence is 2.1m at the highest point from public footpath side (without including the ball finial post caps), however set at 1800mm from the garden lawn level inside the perimeter fence (without including the ball finial post caps)”
