Council decision: No ObjectionsDelegated (officer decision)

Proposal

The proposed works form kim wilkies masterplan for the sibton park estate. the masterplan has involved the restoration of the historic parkland around the house and the creation of new parkland compensating for the loss of the additional areas outside estate ownership and still under arable. The fields adjacent to this hedge have recently been brought back into the estate. They formed part of the earliest estate boundry and were included in the landscaping scheme dating from the earlier 18th century house in the valley bottom. As discussed with historic england and SCDC existing park railing is being restored and extended around the park boundary, opening up strategic views into the park and to the house from the road and valley bottom.
