Hi,
I have a bungalow at the end of a cul de sac.
The kerb is dropped across the width of house front and there is an existing drive to the right hand side with a wall to left hand side with a lamppost in front of wall.
Ideally i'd like a turning space given the location at end of the cul de sac.
I could knock that wall down and have 2 access points, but ideally I'd like fully open frontage.
Has anybody any experience of asking for a lamppost to be moved, is it a planning issue , and is it likely to cost an arm and a leg ?
I would like it moved maybe 3 metres along a path made up of large council type flagstones.
If the lamppost remained, would i be obliged to leave small nib of garden wall behind it ?
