J. RIGG CONSTRUCTION LTD Pry Lane Cheltenham Road Broadway Worc’s WR12 7LX Telephone (01386) 858085 Facsimile (01386) 858095 Wychavon Planning Wychavon District Council, Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive Pershore, Worcestershire WR10 1PT Application Ref No: W/10/03081/PP Our ref: JRC/VC/038 17th March 2011. Dear Sirs, I write in response to the comments made by Worcestershire Highways response dated 11th March 2011 regarding the above application. I note item 2 that mentions the gates as shown on the proposed site plan been made to open inward. It is unfortunate that the gates would not be able to open inwards due to the incline of the drive. The land registry documentation issued following my purchase shows the boundary of Vine Cottage been right to the edge of the Kennel Bank which currently has a steep bank adjoining the unclassified road. Therefore it is proposed that once the drive has been cut into the bank and the ground levels adjusted, to set the gates sufficiently in from the road so that they can be held in the open position without been near the edge of the existing road. My site proposal is solely based in design and appearance to the neighbouring cottage which also may well have been done within permitted development as set out in the letter from Wychavon District Council dated 19th August 2009 on the strength of which I purchased the property. I would ask that the appearance and surface dressing of my proposal be reviewed in the light of the above comments. VAT Registration No. 300 1612 37 Co.

WR12 7LX Page 2 I would also request clarification regarding item 3 which according to the vendors of my property who claimed ownership of the lane with which my property stands, therefore I would request clarification regarding the ownership and the necessary maintenance that is well over due and if on the basis of the above an authorized contractor is required as there is just a mown back with no kerb or path there at present. I would be happy to meet all concerned on site to discuss any queries or concerns, in the meantime, I await your favourable response.
