Who owns my garden fence? Boundary rules in England & Wales<\/h3>\n

Neighbourly disputes are unfortunately all too common, especially when it comes to fences and anything that comes close to the boundary of their home. One homeowner has taken to an online forum to\u00a0ask if it would be unreasonable to send a complaint to her local council about their neighbour\u2019s recently installed bin shed, which they claim acts as a \u201cplatform for would-be-burglars to climb up onto\u201d to access their garden.<\/p>\n

Going by the username Passthegin99 on Mumsnet, the homeowner revealed that they were burgled at a previous house due to a similar bin shed being placed by their garden.<\/p>\n

They added that they were not sure who the fence belonged to and that her neighbours had also installed a driveway.<\/p>\n

The Mumsnet user said: \u201cMy house is an end terrace and next door’s front garden shares a fence with our back boundary. I don’t know who the fence belongs to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNext door has been a state for years but they’ve started smartening it up a bit recently and have made their front garden into a drive (ignoring the fact they don’t have a dropped kerb but never mind).\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cAll fine except they’ve now built a whopping great bin store up against the shared boundary which is essentially a massive, stable, platform for would-be-burglars to climb up onto and hop into our garden!<\/p>\n

“Given my previous house is not far from this end terrace and we were burgled using exactly this route – standing on bins to get over the fence, and then obviously in through a door – I’m feeling extremely stressed about this.”<\/p>\n

The homeowner added that their neighbours are the type to complain about everything, which only adds to their frustration that they won’t move it and say \u201cI\u2019m being ridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n

They claimed it was technically an illegal construction unless the neighbour had planning permission.<\/p>\n
