Local rules that can affect your retaining walls project.
Scenic roads
Chestnut, Essex, Lowell, Main and Summer Streets are designated scenic roads. Cutting trees or removing any part of a stone wall in the public right-of-way needs Planning Board consent after a public hearing. That can matter for driveway widening and frontage walls.
