Lawful development certification
There is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the 1.8m timber slat fence referred to in the information received on 02.04.2025, along the front south boundary and partly along the east side boundary was erected more than four years ago and as such, the Department may not issue an enforcement notice due to the provisions of Town and Country Planning Act 1999 Schedule 4 Part 1 paragraph 3(a).
