EX-FORMULA 1 champion Nigel Mansell has been told to stop work on his new 8 ft metal security fence.

And although Planning approved it in 2006, they say that he had not provided them with the information they required when work began at Beauport Battery last week. Planning assistant director Peter Le Gresley said that his department needed details of the colour, route and landscaping around the fence before work could start.
