Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

We have recently purchased and moved into 48 Whitney Drive. The fence along one side of the property is currently positioned a considerable distance from the legal boundary. For reference, I have enclosed the Land Registry plan, which shows the boundary of our property outlined in red and the current position of the fence marked in black. I have also included an aerial view to provide further context. We would like to reposition the fence so that it aligns with the property's legal boundary and encompasses the side of our house (including the side ground floor window) within the fenced off area. This would help prevent the area from being used as a public right of way and provide privacy for our living room. Before proceeding, we would be grateful if you could confirm whether planning permission is required for these works. If a formal application is necessary, please advise what supporting information you would require, such as drawings, site plans, measurements, or any other relevant documentation, to enable us to submit an application. For further context, we want to install a standard 6ft fence to replace the current one of the same height

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Stevenage for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Stevenage is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
