“NTCG therefore proposes to repair the stone railings and walls and install new railings and pillar posts. The proposals, though appealing, will have minimal visual impact and aim to conserve and enhance the listed building.”

It added that more security was needed to prevent anti-social behaviour including littering needles and syringes.
