Il ask neighbours both left and right first but I can’t see them having a problem
Ha funny you should say that, I planted some box hedges to our right perimeter and the neighbour to our right come out and said I’m digging up his land, so I pulled my deed out and shut him up hahaI would be interested to know whether or not they had read their copy of their deeds, or even care.
A 1ft High brick wall is just a trip hazard if you ask meI had similar years ago but the estate wasn't new. bought a house and the deeds stated there was to be no walls, railings etc at the front with the gardens bordered by a very low (1ft highish) brick wall.
I think this stipulation is put in by the companies that build the houses to give an 'open plan' look to the estate when new just to sell the houses. I had a chat with the neighbours none of whom cared if I put railings and drive gates up and one of them helped me do it. removed the low wall, concreted some posts in and welded in railings between them.
never had any issue with it and they still stand today after 10 years
Our deeds say no brick walls, no hedges above 3ft and no permenant structures.
Nothing is permanent if you use enough force..
I'd put them up and be done with it. Even if someone complains, it would cost them a lot of hassle to do anything about it, if they even knew what the deeds specify.
At the end of the day it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Its your property , should be able to park what you want within reason in my opinion.
I agree. And what they gonna do anyway, kick you out? You own the place!
And y'know what's happened? Nothing. Because no-one can actually enforce it, they can't tear down his fence.

If it's leasehold you'd be surprised at how little you do own. The terms of the lease may allow the freeholder to evict you for contravening the terms of the lease. They could get an injunction telling you to remove a fence and if you don't you're in contempt of court and could be sent to prison.
Councils have some draconian powers if they choose to use them, houses have been demolished by councils because they were built without permission, A friend of mine has allowed one of his properties to become derelict and the council have threatened to take it over, refurbish it, charge him for the work and sell it on.

Thanks for your effortThis is just 4 I passed leaving the estate
The round top and flare ones are from the builders
The spike and the shot up the road are additions
Only downside I can see is they trap litter
Usually on these open plan estates, the deeds to the properties will be burdened by a covenant to the effect of keeping it open plan. Personally, I prefer the open plan look. Hedges, fences, gates, can make the area look closed in and smaller, and visibility splays at the inevitable numerous turnings in these estates can be blocked, compromising safety. Open plan gives fewer places to hide for the less savoury types.
