Crazy Woman wants to erect giant cross in her back garden.

A woman from Lincolnshire has applied for planning permission to put a 7m-high "Cross of Love" in her back garden.

Sister Mary Michael, who lives in North Hykeham, near Lincoln, has received both objection and support for her application.

Seems as if the residents are quite cross about this and rightfully so. Wouldn't be surprised to see an angry mob of pensioners attaching her to it.

Why? It's her garden. Let her get on with it.

If someone was doing soething similar to this without a connection to a major religion they would get sectioned.

Well because it's a 24 foot high illuminated cross, I suspect it would be rather annoying for everyone whose windows it will shine into at night.

Really? Someone would get sectioned for wanting to erect their own ornament in their own garden?

Crikey. I'd best reconsider that water feature I wanted in my garden.

She has a right to apply for planning permission and I can't see why she is crazy to be honest.
She has only applied remember.

It will impact quite heavily on her neighbours however, it's a large structure and should undergo standard planning permission procedures. Quite why this is on BBC news, when it's a total none-story is beyond me.

She wants a big cross in her garden, some people nearby don't want it, it does, or doesn't get allowed by the local council planning department. The end.

If it's well over twice the height of your house and lights up at night, then yes you probably should reconsider it.

Sweet so as a Satanist I can erect an illuminated 7m statue of our Dark Lord Satan in my garden?

Edit - I am not actually a Satanist.

Raikiri · 14 Jul 2012 at 18:12

If they wanted to erect a 24 foot 'ornament' that could have a detrimental effect on property prices (as well as annoying neighbours) because they think it will protect them from evil spirits unrelated to a major religion I think there would be some questions asked...

My point exactly, I think people would question my mental health if I put up a 24 foot tall light up light sabre in my back garden, rightfully so

Is it a 7m high illuminated one?

ANYTHING seven metres high has pretty much no chance of being approved in a residential area, let alone something tht lights up at night.

If this monstrosity somehow manages to get approval then i'll eat my socks.

FlapR · 14 Jul 2012 at 18:13

Definitely not, it's 24ft high the selfish bint. Absolutely no chance of getting planning permission for that.

decmatt · 14 Jul 2012 at 18:14

Haha love the council, reference number 666.

Lol, so all the sculpture artists have been sectioned have they? Have you seen some off their "art"

As said, it won't be accepted anyway.

One person believe in something, she crazy.

A billion people believe it, it's a religion.

I didn't realise it was illuminated. That's a different story..

It's over 2 times the maximum height of a fence, I don't think your water feature is that high.

Perhaps in future it would be prudent to actually read/watch the story before commenting then.
