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...

I (& the country) can ask Johnson for compo for the incompetent management of Covid giving UK "World beating" huge deaths per million. Yes, you can ask. Of course.

Certainly think it fair for tenants to expect compo from their landlord.

Best you ask the Council - either you do that and get the facts or you start building and somebody reports you to the council .........

Can the Freeholder develop basement below Leasehold ground floor flat?

Juts because the lease does not refer to the basement does not mean it is not included. Have a look at this thread and come back if you have any questions:

Through my research on a piece of land, I have discovered "Perscriptive Right of Way" and if enough time has passed this *may* apply to you (although i was looking at land, rather than within a building)
