After buying a property, owning it for 2 years, I don't like the side fence my neighbour has built between the two properties. (fence is about 50 years old). It doesn't suit the style of my building. I want to build my own style side boundary fence instead, just for that 10 metre section, so I don't have to look at theirs.
The fence is red brick pillars and base with faded green timber palings in the spaces. So it goes right across their front boundary, then takes a 90 degree turn and continues as our dividing fence for about 10 metres, then becomes a metroll fence. (They must've run out of bricks or money at that point 50 years ago.)
My question is :
Does anyone know if I can build my own fence of my own style, colour and size, at my own expense, wholly on my land, not encroaching on theirs, perhaps as close as say 200mm to the boundary line ?
Can I do this without Council or neighbour permission ?
Any ideas ?
Any suggestions or info would be very much appreciated.
