Hoping to pick your legal brains as the garden law website is too tricky for me and I can understand the language of mumsnetters!
Basically I have a sunny large front garden and a small dark back garden around my 1960s detached bungalow in a close. I would like to put some fencing around my front garden to stop my kids and dogs running into the road so it can be a nice useable area.
My deeds state I can not hedge or fence the boundary of the front garden but I was wondering if I could fence 1 meter inwards of the boundary, as I don't need to fence the full area anyway?
I would like 4ft picket fencing but I have read on-line no more than 1m high if near public highway, again if it's 1m inwards from our boundary and there is a footpath between our garden and the road of our cul-de-sac could this be ok?
Many Thanks!!
