Households in Great Britain could be issued a fine of 5,000 GBP for the ignorant break of a garden fence rule. A rule that was changed in May has now been updated and throws more light on the regulations to replace a border, a hedge or installation of a new fence.
City and country planning (general development) Order 2015 has been updated, which makes garden owners clearer. A previously warned right -wing expert warned: “If you want to set up a new garden fence this summer, you have to take some important things into account to ensure that you do not break any laws and have finished a fine.”
At the moment, homeowners can set up a return fence up to two meters high, ie almost six feet six, without needing the building permit. However, in order to have a fence more than two meters away from the ground, you have to take the building permit.
Also go higher with a decorative grille and you must first receive approval. At the front of the building, fences cannot walk over a meter if you live next to a footpath, street or a public space. That is a little more than three feet big.
Mark Andrew Woodman, who legal advisor of Legal Senior Legal, previously suggested examining title documents to determine whether they determine what property has previous rights over the fence – and ask who actually installed it first.
There will also be some cases in which the building permit is required if the fence is more than a meter high. B. if he borders on a highway or the footpath of a highway.
If you are not sure about an aspect of your property limits or builders, e.g. B. the installation of a fence, it is advisable to contact your local planning authority, usually your local council to clarify the rules and avoid potential problems.
Ignoring regulations can lead to serious consequences. For example, if your fence causes a legal annoyance such as floods or blocked drainage, you can be fined up to 5,000 GBP with a fine.
If someone owes them money in connection with the matter and refuses to pay them, they may have to take legal steps, which can lead to a legal proceedings. If you take proactive steps early, you can stay away from expensive and stressful complications.
