I wouldn't say so as the youngest ones live in the first house so they dont pass that way.. I will look into the minor planning application, thank you

Yes it is 20 years old. That's what i heard someone mention before, saying to check if its not been left like that on purpose as part of the design. Would this be something that would be clarified by Planning Permission, do you know? Many thanks

Hello everyone. I have recently purchased my first home. To the right of the garden is a strip of green which according to the deeds is our land. We were thinking of moving the fence to extend our garden. I have checked with our solicitor probably 3 times now and she has said she cant see anything in the deeds stopping us from doing so as this is within the boundaries. The line on the photos shows where we would like to extend to so esentially we will still be leaving quite a bit of green. I have heard we would need to apply for planning permission, that it could be possible we can but only up to 1.1m as its close to the road (which is a dead end road). We would also like to do one at the front of the house, going to the side which i understand will need to be max 1.1m as it is on a bend. I have tried to contact the Council and been sent two forms, one for the old fence, one for the new but it is so confusing some of the information they require on there.. Maybe some of you have had a similar experience and have some advice? It would be much appreciated. Many thanks
