A pensioner has been left outraged at her neighbour’s newly installed ‘big fence’ 👀
A pensioner has been left outraged at her neighbour’s newly installed ‘big fence’.She claims the 6ft fence is not only blocking her view, but also resulting in higher energy costs.She told Grimsby Live: ‘There’s a fence in my front window and there’s reduced daylight coming in. When it was put up in October I sat down in my room and thought, “I can’t see anybody out there”. It’s depressing me, if I’m honest.
‘When you sit down on the sofa and you look out the window, you can’t see anything. I’m 75 and I’m on my own a lot of the time and it’s horrible. I’m having to keep the light on a lot of the time and I don’t like it because it’s using my electricity and it will cost me. According to national planning permission guidelines, householders are not required to apply for planning permission if a fence that is not next to a highway does not exceed two metres in height.Sheila said she has contacted North East Lincolnshire Council about the situation three times and has been told each time that someone will attend her property to speak to her, but a visit has never materialised.
