Picket fence

22-01-2021, 14:34 PM

I want to turf my lawn, plant shrubs and erect a 500 mm high wooden picket fence.
I have been shielding due to health issues and tenants who rent in adjacent properties let their dogs foul on my lawn.
I want to use the garden safely, its part of my leasehold and deed. The lease says I have to keep it as lawn, properly mowed etc and not erect anything that shall prevent the access of natural light.

am I wise to proceed with a fence? And suffer the consequences.

At the moment I cannot enjoy the space at all.

Why not ask the freeholders permission? That would seem the most pragmatic solution.

Front or back lawn? Or both?

Councils may have guidance on height of fences in different areas...

Two sets of accurately drawn plans at a highest possible scale and two applications to change the registers of title for each property will be required.
The areas of land to be transferred have to be shown on the plans and all necessary rights written into the transfer forms regarding access to...

A neighbour to aa rental property of ours has had planning permission to build a 2 storey extension to the side and rear.

I think about £7k. The neighbour was uncooperative so I needed a litigation solicitor and the matter was set to go to court, but my mother died in the middle of the dispute and I just couldn’t face a court action at that time. The party wall surveyor was useless as well; he was more responsive to...

Reply to permitted development for garage

by pilman

Permitted development applies to land within the curtilage of a dwelling house.

You will need to make a planning application because your paddock on the other side of the road will not meet the legal definition of curtilage.

On another web-site this appeal was posted that was...

Or tell him you'll sell him 4 inches of your land for £10k. The footing will stick out further than the wall but it appears from the photo they won't be able to build the wall entirely on their own land?
The other option would be to charge him (payment in advance) for allowing them to do it from...
