High wall


Local planning rules usually prevent high walls facing onto the street from house frontages so how 18 Lauderdale Drive got away with this is beyond me.

Richmond Council's planning database shows an application from 1971 for “Erection of wall 1.98 m (6 feet 6 inches) high along back edge of footpath” but there are no drawings to show where "back edge of footpath" is.

However it happened, I am surprised that subsequent owners have not got rid of it as the wall is south of the house and so blocks a great deal of light from the garden.
