We have had our garden levelled and have retrospectively found out that it is an activity which requires planning permission (slope about 1:20 and max of 45cm). Are other members aware of this activity needing permission? We understand that if the job is small enough for one person to do in an afternoon with a shovel, that most councils would turn a blind eye to it needing permission. Again - any experience of this?
There was a six foot fence at the bottom of the garden. We have put a plinth on the bottom of a new six foot fence and attached it to the existing fence which means the fence now appears 8 foot high when viewed from the other side (their garden is on a much lower level). Our neighbours complained about the height and look of the new fence. Any experience with dealing with this situation?
