it can depend on indiviual estates, some are deemed 'open plan' and you can't have anything that encloses am area. IT can also depend on if there are neighbours who would look on the fencing, we had an issue with one of ours, (actually it wasn't the old dear but her grandson who'se about to inherit the lot). In teh end because of what he objected to it endedup with teh fence being a good 18" higher than it would have been if he hadn't objected in the first instance. Idiot is a word that springs to mind but hey ho.

In my dealings with HBC planning (I've done 2 seperate apps) they have struggled to apply common sense on either occasion. only by fighting my corner have I managed to get something suitable. Be prepared to stand your ground with a reasoned and solid argument.
