To remove this fence? DIAGRAM INCLUDED!

[ShinyPinkLipgloss]

New build estate in village. Semi detached house. Moved in a year ago. NDN are HUGELY unreasonable and completely NON APPROACHABLE. Long backstory but basically the police have told them if they come near us they will be charged due to serious past incidents.

All of the properties have a side access gate and 6ft fence along the back gardens. No issues there.

However, we were supposed to have a lovely dry stonewall along the front of the house. Issues with building foundations resulted in said wall collapsing. As a result the builders put in a HIDEOUS wire fence. It's awful. I could honestly say I that I could build a better looking fence myself and I'm no carpenter!

So, my AIBU.......

The fence runs along the front of both my and NDN's house (see attached diagram). There is no physical barrier between both our front gardens. So if I remove it the fence will just suddenly STOP and possibly look a bit ridiculous. However - should I care? If they were reasonable NDNs I'd approach them and say "I'm getting rid of this - would you like these bits to fence off your garden from mine?" However such an amicable discussion is just not possible.

When I first moved in the front fence was not there and it looked great - just a lovely open space. Now it looks like I should have some stinking sheep in my front garden and I hate walking past it every day (I know - first world problems and all that).

What would you do? I don't want to replace it with another fence as I honestly think it looks great just open! Plus I could do without the additional expense.

A new fence down the red line, making a corner with the start of wire fence in front of nndn would avoid that issue Saucery

Are you allowed a fence along the red line?
We weren’t allowed to put any borders between lawns (most people have planted shrubs though)

That seems unnecessarily interfering. What is the reasoning behind that stipulation, Hoppinggreen

Definitely OK to remove what you don't want from your property.

You need to check the original planning permission for the development and your deeds to see whether you can put a fence/wall along the red boundary. If there is a condition on the original PP you would need to apply for planning permission for a fence/wall which would normally not require it.
Similarly there might be a restriction on your deeds requiring consent from the developer and/or freeholder if you don't own that.

Remove wire fence from front. Turn 90deg and use to demarcate the (red line) non-fenced grass area. Add new picket fence or whatever along the front.

I have nothing useful to add, just to say that that is a beautiful diagram.

No idea rafferty. It was in our homeowners pack along with no caravans, commercial vehicles over a certain size and chickens.

Great diagram. Just do what you want.

Nothing to add to advice above from pps - blatantly coming on to congratulate you on a LOVELY diagram OP

Fucking excellent diagram. 10/10

Sheep are not that stinky! They also keep the grass down. I feel you may be sheepist!

Kudos on the diagram. I am never usually able to decipher what people's diagrams mean, yours is the first I understand!
