Minor improvements were carried out to the structure to prevent water ingress that was carried out last year but the main structure has not changed Would it best to call the council or email them? What would be the best approach? anything else i should do?

Found an invoice from September 2015 where i purchased the polycarbonate roof, and a few other items related to the roof will this be acceptable? Given that its more that 3m will i still need to reduce the size given that it was over 4 years ago?

The length if i recall correctly is approx 4.5mtrs but doesn't extend beyond the property

It was just a simple plug connection to an indoor socket, drilled through into the outbuilding to supply power to the Fridge and washing machine

It doesn't extend beyond the actual brick construction of the property

It was a diy build, so all the materials i would have purchased myself and didn't keep any receipts etc.I may have an invoice for the polycarbonate roof as this was purchased online. I may have a few pics but thats it. Would that suffice?

Terraced property, several years ago an outbuilding was built so we could house the washing machine and fridge freezer. The outbuilding was constructed with wood and a clear polycarbonate roof The outbuilding sits our my side of the fence line/boundary. The neighbour who owns the house but rents it out at the time saw the outbuilding and never complained to us about it. Fast forward to the present day, the tenants have left, the owner who lives in London has returned to redecorate the property to re-let it out and now this enforcement letter has landed on my doorstep The letter states that planning permission was not sought and therefore i need to remove the unauthorised rear extension or submit a retro application Would i really need to apply for planning permission for such a basic outbuilding? is there a time limit regarding enforcement if the outbuilding has been there with no issues for a number of years?

Looking for something that doesn't need to be maintained which is why i prefer the fence option

That area will remain as is it, the gate will be parallel to the garage corner of the property Pics below, the orange line is where the gate will be to allow for access, beyond that the red line is where the fence will be erected https://ibb.co/rpKLGB6 https://ibb.co/yRrN68d

For the benefit of others... Shedule 2, Part 2 Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 which defines what permission is granted that allows fences to be erected. PART 2 Minor operations Class A - gates, fences, walls etc Permitted development A. The erection, construction, maintenance, improvement or alteration of a gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure. Development not permitted A.1 Development is not permitted by Class A if- (a) the height of any gate, fence, wall or means of enclosure erected or constructed adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic would, after the carrying out of the development, exceed- (i) for a school, 2 metres above ground level, provided that any part of the gate, fence, wall or means of enclosure which is more than 1 metre above ground level does not create an obstruction to the view of persons using the highway as to be likely to cause danger to such persons; (ii) in any other case, 1 metre above ground level; (b) the height of any other gate, fence, wall or means of enclosure erected or constructed would exceed 2 metres above ground level; (c) the height of any gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure maintained, improved or altered would, as a result of the development, exceed its former height or the height referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) as the height appropriate to it if erected or constructed, whichever is the greater; or (d) it would involve development within the curtilage of, or to a gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure surrounding, a listed building. In my case a public footpath is not a highway used by vehicular traffic. Which means that a fence with a maximum height of 2 metres can be erected on my land even if it is next to a public footpath. The GPDO grants planning permission for a 2m tall fence adjacent to a highway UNLESS said highway is used by motor vehicles - where it must be 1m tall instead.

I understand "Highway" is not defined, and it can include paths and roads

But the statement below states including footpath? "No planning permission is required for a wall or fence that is under 2m in height. However, if that wall or fence is adjacent to a highway (including a footpath) then the height of a wall or fence cannot exceed 1m without planning permission Have you seen the images?

What concerns me is that as their is a footpath that the council may insist that i put in an application The neighbour on their side have erected palisade fencing which is 1m high

We have some land to the right hand side of our property, which is our boundary, total length is approx 24 metres. We would like to install 6 ft close board fence panels from a safety and security perspective and will give us more garden space However adjacent to the land is a footpath I found this online with regards to the regulations "No planning permission is required for a wall or fence that is under 2m in height. However, if that wall or fence is adjacent to a highway (including a footpath) then the height of a wall or fence cannot exceed 1m without planning permission" However i am not sure what 'highway' exactly refers to, is it the pavement, road or footpath? Or all? Can i install a 2m fence without planning permission?
