Bloke’s war with council over 6ft wall he built to stop flying syringes into garden

  1. Man has to remove half of wall to reduce to standard legal height (1 metre, without planning permission).

    Dude didn’t win anything.

  2. i think this will go down in history as one of the most gripping dramas in the annals of mankind. Of all the walls in history, the Great Wall of China, the Berlin Wall, the Wailing Wall, this wall will surely rank among the most famous. I read the whole saga with baited breath, wondering what the decision of the Planning Department might be, and I was staggered by the earth-shattering conclusion, where he was told to reduce it by a few feet. Truly remarkable.

  3. Man builds something that requires planning permission, local council wants him him to reduce it to the permitted height.

    This folks is the sort of thing that is now being reported in the national press.

  4. Why would you spend £5000 but not the £150 for planning permission. He’d probably have got the permission if he just applied like normal people.
