Fence move planned at Whitney Drive

Summary

The applicant wants to move the six-foot fence to the legal boundary at 48 Whitney Drive.

What the council wrote

We have recently purchased and moved into 48 Whitney Drive. The fence along one side of the property is currently positioned a considerable distance from the legal boundary. For reference, I have enclosed the Land Registry plan, which shows the boundary of our property outlined in red and the current position of the fence marked in black. I have also included an aerial view to provide further context. We would like to reposition the fence so that it aligns with the property's legal boundary and encompasses the side of our house (including the side ground floor window) within the fenced off area. This would help prevent the area from being used as a public right of way and provide privacy for our living room. Before proceeding, we would be grateful if you could confirm whether planning permission is required for these works. If a formal application is necessary, please advise what supporting information you would require, such as drawings, site plans, measurements, or any other relevant documentation, to enable us to submit an application. For further context, we want to install a standard 6ft fence to replace the current one of the same height
