Geoff,
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Just to clarify, Graham Darlington has not agreed to a reduction in the height of the replacement wall with Persimmon. As far as the Council is concerned, you are quite correct in that there remains a requirement to comply with the condition attached to the planning permission as it stands.
As such, the matter will need to be resolved through the proper procedures.
For information, the Group Manager is Mark Shipman and the Council's Solicitor is Matthew Neal.
I hope this is of assistance.
Regards
Kate

Direct Line: 01539 797560 But what does it mean?
The statement "the matter will need to be resolved through the proper procedures." means very little until the Distrct Council actually does something.
From Persimmons point of view it has had no effect whatsoever here on the ground. The low wall continues to be built as before.
Why hasn't the building been stopped instantly?
Is the councill actually going to enforce the law?
So what action are they taking and when?
Sadly government officers have a habit and great skill the making statements that could mean anything - unlike the rest of us who would like something that we can see is being carried out.
