Hi All
Am in the middle of a new build and am a bit confused about the conditions for the front boundary wall. Our planning permission states:
"The front boundary wall should be recessed behind the lines of visibility and shall be re-constructed as a sod-and-stone bank with a minimum height of 1.5 metres, planned to the rear with native hedging and trees"
Further down it states:
"The area between the new road boundary and the public carriageway shall be finished 200-300 mm above carriageway level and finished in grass with these works being designed and constructed in such a manner as to ensure the existing road drainage system is not adversely affected."
My main queries are:

My main queries are:
- what is a sod and stone bank
- can we plant on top of it or if not isn't it going to be full of weeds
- finally the grass that we have to plant to the road side - can't see this lasting - it will only take one herd of cows to wreck it or even a car
