A GRADE II listed 18th-century wall at The Vyne will have its gate repaired and restored using the original materials.
An application to replace the timber gate to the walled garden at The Vyne National Trust, Sherborne St John, was granted, allowing for a replacement gate to be constructed using some of the timber from the previous one.
The application relates to a replacement timber gate to the walled garden, including unauthorised works.
The former gate has been removed and the proposed replacement gate is made of timber and of framed, ledged and brace construction.

The replacement gate includes some historic timber from the previous gate within its construction and measures approximately 1.95m in height above ground level and 1.15m in width.
The Walled Garden is Grade II listed with a history tied to the nearby Grade I listed mansion, The Vyne.
The Vyne originally dates from the 16th century, with remains of the Tudor house still evident in parts today, most notably within The Vyne's chapel.
The Walled Garden is an 18th-century kitchen garden situated to the northeast of the main mansion.
It is constructed of a high red brick wall with brick coping dating from at least 1776 and there have been alterations, areas of rebuilding and repairs across the garden.
There are several buildings around the walled garden which are used for gardener's storage.
The garden remains within horticultural use and is open to the public.
The application site relates to the gate to the west entrance to the walled garden and the proposed gate would be within the Grade II Listed 18th century wall.
Jeni Jackson, head of planning and infrastructure at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, granted permission for the works.
She said in her report: "All works of repair and making good to the surrounding fabric affected by the works hereby approved shall match the existing in all respects.
"The works shall be carried out and thereafter maintained in accordance with the approved details."
