A couple say they are being 'unfairly penalised' after the council ordered them to half the height of their £10,000 garden fence.
"It’s such an injustice, we were just really surprised. Other people have exactly the same type of fence as we’ve got, so why are we being punished? He said: "We replaced the hedge with the fence, unaware of the need for planning permission until we suddenly had a letter out of the blue from Wiltshire Council who came after us. Now we have to cut it down by a half – we have to cut it down to one metre high.
The couple submitted a retrospective planning application to retain the fence, however this was rejected by the council. Now a Government planning inspector has dismissed the couple's appeal against an enforcement notice, giving them just a few months to cut the fence in two.
