Hello,

We've just bought our first home we have 3 dc - aged 3, 4 and 7. The home we moved out of was a rental but a huge garden with the previous occupantd swing set, trampoline and climbing frame...used daily even in winter.

The new garden is small (tiny in comparison to our old home) the kids are bored as I try to discourage ball games so they don't end up bouncing over the fence so there's nothing really "to do" in the garden but we could fit a small climbing frame (monkey bars and a slide combo see https://dunsterhouse.co.uk/challengefort-climbing-tower?infinity=ict2~net~gaw~cmp~17621806056~ag~~ar~~kw~~mt~~acr~6854345728&gclid=CjwKCAjw586hBhBrEiwAQYEnHeW7nRJZRt-M3W-OlhZt1W2nAxVxYh3Aex6xPEE2L40AsoHpB9UF_BoCrrcQAvD_BwE ) however this would take up the entire grass garden area leaving a small patio. Husband doesn't think we can erect it as lawn area has been raised slightly there's a slight step up into the garden - measurements show that the monkey bars will be peaking over by 10cm the neighbours fences (terraced - we have 3 neighbours sides and back) do you need planning permission for a climbing frame? And if allowed would you put one up? Or would you just leave it a lawn and is there any alternatives?
