Say it’s going to be part of a shed you are slowly building I think that can goto a height of 2.4m

I think what people are missing here is that the ‘fence’ is not a ‘fence’ and boundary rules don’t apply because it’s not forming a boundary.
The OP stated that he was putting his ‘fence’ up on his own land and that the original boundary fence is staying in place.
Ergo; no boundary dispute as the thing he is erecting is a garden feature not a fence and not on a boundary.
Other rules may apply but the 1.8m fence height one certainly won’t.

So you're saying he can go as high as he wants? Could he build a 20 foot / 30 foot fence because it's a few inches away from the boundary? No wonder there's so much trouble round your way.

Some people are fussy.
I know @dronefromsector7G prefers four legs for example.

Otherwise known as a threesome

Only if it's a metre away from a boundary line, (I think).

I thought this thread was going to be about Boris Onischenko.

Yes, install a hidden switch that lays the fence flat at the approach of an inspector.

I (my gardener) have just started putting up a new fence in my back garden.
This is batten fencing which is solely in my garden and sits in front of the existing fencing, which is remaining in place.

The fence I have put in is 7ft high as this is the height my neighbours to the right have and our fence is designed to hide all existing fencing.

The neighbours on the other side have complained and reported it to the council stating it is too high.
This neighbour has their house up for sale.

Do I need to make it 6ft on that side or can I just crack on and ignore them?

You should have a chat with them and explain that since they’ve opened a grievance with the council, they will need to inform potential buyers of an on going dispute, presumably provide copies of letters etc in the buyers pack.....

Fairly sure they wouldn’t want the bother......

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

That is sort of the route I was going. I was going to say that if we get into a dispute abou the fence, he has a legal obligation to report this to any prospective buyer...or he could just leave me to it and we not have a dispute.

Sorry dude read this after I posted.

in any event the upshot is that if they don’t want to put people off buying they should withdraw their grievance...

Is it not possible to tell the council anonymously of twats ignoring the rules?
