Fencing between two properties

We own out drive from 30ft from the edge of our property, as does our neighbour. So a small amount of the drive is “no man’s land”. We wish to put a fence within our 30ft (diagram attached).

Something in our deeds is confusing me (attached), is this saying we can’t have a fence?

others have put fences up, but our neighbour is difficult, hence we want the fence.

Any ideas?

If you can afford it just slap up a cheap fence and see what she does. It seems a bit odd that you can put shrubs up but not any kind of fence though. Surely shrubs can get out of control if not maintained.
If she manages to figure out how to enforce the covenant then get some fast growing shrubs just to spite her and just maintain your side 😂

It would take her ages to sort anything I’m sure, it’s more about her moaning at us! Although with the fence up, we won’t see her as much.

I’d check with your council what height is allowed as many local authorities will only allow 4 ft fences at the front of properties

Yep, the guy who is installing has already says about that. So it’s 6.ft at the back and then drops down to 4ft at the front for visibility. But thank you for pointing that out.
