I am looking at a house with space to the side of the garden which is not fully enclosed.
There is fencing between the front and back garden where the front elevation of the house lies.
To the side and front of the property there is a low 1 or 1 1/2 meter wall with some metal spikes railings held up by pillars.
To the rear is fencing.
At the rear of the garden there is a hardstanding with nothing blocking off the public from entering the rear garden.
Now for privacy and secuity reasons would I be able to do the following?
Leave the existing low wall.
Put in a pathway on my side of the low wall about 1meter width to access the hard standing to the house. Behind the pathway build a 2meter wall all around the garden with gates between the access path and the low highway wall?
Can I do this as permitted development or do I need planning permission to do this?
Thanks
