Building a new boundary wall
Hello,
We’d like to build (or have built) an additional boundary wall on what was/is ‘verde land. Most of our neighbours have built an additional wall (extended there gardens) in this way and placed pools and sheds on the land. One of our neighbours said that the council are quite happen for people to move their boundary wall by a certain size as it stops them having the responsibility for looking after it.
We have written to the council who replied saying I would have to do and speak to the council’s planning officer. This seems reasonable but, as I may wish to build the wall myself I wondered if anyone could advise me of the pros and cons and what we would require to show the council?
Alternatively, can anyone advise us of a good and reliable builder that could do all or part of the job for us?
Many thanks,
Ma
