Caroline couldn’t burn it , council wouldn’t allow it. This is a rural area and no shortage of firewood.
The bungalows use to have open area at back,, residents asked for permission to erect fencing to have their own gardens, agreement was - residents May fence off area at back of their bungalows but fencing is not the responsibility of the council.
I live in a National Park, so many restrictions plus restrictions from council for their tenants, a nightmare. National Parks even have rules about tv satellite dishes!
Example, my brother bought a property in an isolated area,
He built a tennis court, the Parks ordered it be removed and restored to a vegetable garden , the property is 2 miles from the main road, the Parks claimed a tennis court could distract motorists! Brother won the battle but had to take it to the Welsh Assemby.
No idea how the previous tenant got away with a 8ft fence ?,
