Furze Hill and Furze Lane

9.2.13 The following works are considered enhancements for Furze Hill and Furze Lane:

  • Use of a low retaining wall combined with hedging or hedging with a 1.1m wire fence, where appropriate. A hedge at the front of each plot is the preferred option.
  • Reinforcement of complementary shrubs and bushes occasionally, where appropriate to support the existing mature shrubs and bushes that positively contribute to the character.
  • Retention of attractive views looking south through the gardens of Furze Hill.
  • Protection of the trees and hedges on Furze Hill that lead into the inner estate (behind Foxglove Gardens).
  • Reinstatement of the missing granite curbs on Furze Lane.
  • Installation of streetlamps on Furze Lane and the corner with Foxley Lane.
  • Protection of the conservation area borders from encroachment from Foxley Lane.
