Hi am new here and found this site online and hope that someone would have some advice as we have no experience of applying for planning permissions.
We put a fence up around our front garden (not high its just one metre) and an enforcement officer (who was nice about it) has told us verbally (not by letter) we need to apply for planning permission to keep it because when the street was built there was a restriction on the permission but the restriction he mentioned says:
"Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order) no development shall be carried out on the site within the terms of Classes A B C D E F and G of Part 1 and Class A of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Order, without the prior consent of the Local Planning Authority"
Does "consent" mean a planning application? it seems a bit excessive just for a fence, a friend of ours has told us to try to not to apply for PP but negotiate with the Council but we dont know what to do. Most of the street has boundary hedges etc. Does anyone have any advice or experience so we know what to expect, we have never applied for planning permission before.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
