The development will also consist of the upgrade of an existing vehicular entrance and access road off Ormond Drive into the site, installation of new services, the provision of a sustainable urban drainage system and new access roads and footpaths with associated hard and soft landscaping and parking for 70 cars.

The boundary wall is within the curtilage of a protected structure Ref. No.121.
