High Wycombe homeowner told to remove unauthorised wall or cut it down

Summarised from Bucks Free Press's report · Updated 5 Nov, 09:20 · Archive

Buckinghamshire Council has ordered a High Wycombe homeowner to remove a wall and pillars built without planning permission or reduce them to one metre high.

Buckinghamshire Council has issued an enforcement notice requiring removal or height reduction of a wall and pillars at a property in Coates Lane, High Wycombe. The council says the position and height of the structures would harm the area's open character and introduce an 'alien feature' that does not fit with the 'simple, modest' boundary treatments nearby.

The homeowner has two options: remove the wall and pillars entirely and restore the land to its previous condition, or reduce their height so no part exceeds one metre. Any debris must also be removed. The notice takes effect on 1 December unless an appeal is received by the Secretary of State before then. If it takes effect, the required work must be completed within three months. If requirements are not met, those responsible could face prosecution or the council could carry out remedial work.
