Boundary and wall questions

[Rooter]

I am getting as bad as my friend Vkurup! But here goes...

So i recieved a copy of the land reg documents today and the boundary of our property is bigger than i expected, it actually goes past a wall that is kind of the entrance to our small estate. The wall in question is curved and eats into my front garden. Can i knock it down and replace with another wall or a fence etc? see pic.. Who do i need to check with? council? land reg?

Council, first stop.
It could be an historic wall, if not knock it down.

PS.......it looks like you will get a lot of kids playing fitba by the garages next door.

Depends, would need to see the rest of your title deeds to see if there are any covenants preventing it being knocked down. Also worth checking the original planning permission to see if it was a requirement.

Thanks Greg.

Surely you get two club lengths relief.

If that is parking next door then the wall may be curved as part of the visibility splay, in fact that seems quite likely.

So i could just knock it down and not replace it! Cant see anything covenant wise on the paperwork i have..

Best chat the council as may be a condition in the original planning consent. If not, you could, in theory, knock it down but you may not be able to fence off or enclose the additional land

No problem. How sad am I, I spend my break from conveyancing answering conveyancing questions.

Want me to talk to you about electrical engineering best practices within a high density datacenter environment to make you feel better?

Tell the council to repair it. They will soon tell you it's yours.
