 Erection of boundary fencing The Council support the perimeter deer fencing.  However, we do not support the use of the metal fencing as it is out of keeping with an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Council also feel that the metal fencing is not required for security reasons.  There is no known criminal activity in the area and the 1.8m deer fencing should provide some security.  Furthermore, it is believed that the property currently benefits from 24 hour security.  The Council would propose less intrusive/agricultural stock fencing be used.

 Erection of a Victorian electric lantern/lamp post to front garden

 

 Frant Parish Council are concerned with the light pollution within a rural area.  The property is also in a conservation area.  Concern has also been raised as there are bats inhabiting oak trees opposite the property.

The lamp is not in keeping with Frant Village as we have existing swan neck lamps.  The proposed light is also only 22 yards from an existing post.

The Council, therefore, object to this application.
