A BID by a district councillor to build a boundary wall on his property in Lympstone has been given the green light.
East Devon’s Development Management Committee on Tuesday rubberstamped an application by ward member Ben Ingham to build a replacement front boundary wall with railings at Ferndale, The Strand, Lympstone.
The council’s conservation officer said: “There is no objection in principle to the replacement of the existing front boundary wall with a brick wall and metal railing.
“The proposed wall is therefore considered acceptable.”

It was added that the application would normally have been dealt with by officers under delegated powers.
