Q: Can I build a fence as high as I like on my boundary?
A: Not necessarily.
In most cases, planning permission is required for a fence, wall or gate over 1 metre high where it adjoins a road, footpath or pavement, and over 2 metres high elsewhere.
Before installing a new fence, it's also worth checking your title deeds. Many properties, particularly on open-plan developments, contain covenants restricting fence heights or prohibiting fences altogether in certain locations.
A quick check before you build could save a costly dispute later.

I once worked with a client involved in a lengthy and expensive boundary dispute.
At the centre of the disagreement was a plan used during the original conveyancing process.
Rather than obtaining an up-to-date mapping extract, a photocopy of an Ordnance Survey map that was approximately 40 years old had been relied upon.
What seemed like a small saving at the time ultimately contributed to a dispute that cost tens of thousands of pounds in professional fees, legal costs and countless hours of stress.
When dealing with property boundaries, rights of way or land transactions, accurate mapping is not an expense. It's an investment in certainty.
The cheapest option is not always the least expensive.

Square metres? Square feet?
For centuries in Japan, rooms were measured in something far more practical: floor mats.
Tatami mats, woven straw mats made to a strict 2:1 ratio, became the foundation of traditional Japanese architecture. Instead of designing a room first and fitting the flooring afterwards, architects designed the entire space around the mats themselves.
A room wasn’t “12 square metres.” It was “6 mats.”
The result was a system built around human experience rather than abstract numbers. If someone said a room was six mats, you immediately understood how many people could sit comfortably and how the room would function in daily life.
One is a mathematical measurement.
The other is a design based on how people actually live.

Another boundary dispute making headlines and another reminder that fences do not always define legal ownership.
A four year neighbour dispute involving a £1.2m property in East Sussex has reached the High Court, centred on the position of a “dog-proof fence” and the true legal boundary.

The case highlights common issues seen in boundary disputes:
• Physical features on the ground versus title boundaries
• Alleged informal boundary agreements
• Access and landlocking concerns
• The huge emotional and financial cost of neighbour litigation

As an Expert Witness, I regularly see owners assume an existing fence or hedge marks the legal boundary. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Traditional methods are slow, hazardous and expensive.
Switch to professional drone surveys and experience the difference:
• Faster – Cover large or hard-to-reach areas in a fraction of the time
• Safer – Eliminate the need for working at height and reduce human risk
• More Accurate – Capture high-resolution data, photogrammetry and detailed visuals for better insights
• Cost-Effective – Reduce inspection costs by up to one-third (or more in many cases!) through efficiency gains and no scaffolding/equipment overhead
Whether it's towers, bridges, roofs, industrial assets or infrastructure – drones deliver reliable, professional results without compromise.

Let's elevate your inspections – safely and smartly.

Traditional land surveying on large sites?

It's often slow, labour-intensive and disruptive requiring teams on the ground for hours or days.
Enter photogrammetry and drone mapping: gamechangers that deliver fast, accurate and actionable data.
• Capture high-resolution imagery in a fraction of the time
• Generate precise 3D models and measurements with minimal on-site disruption
• Enable real-time progress tracking, volume calculations, and early issue detection

The result?
Dramatically reduced surveying time, fewer personnel needed in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, lower costs and better decision-making across the project lifecycle.

In 2026, drone-powered photogrammetry isn't just an alternative, it's becoming essential for staying competitive and delivering projects on time and on budget.

What happens if your property boundary is a river… and the river moves?
Surprisingly, the legal boundary may move with it.
Under long-established property law, if a river gradually shifts position over time through natural processes like erosion or sediment build-up, a principle known as accretion applies. This means the legal boundary slowly moves as the river moves.
But if the river suddenly changes course during a flood or major storm event—a process known as avulsion—the boundary usually stays exactly where it originally was.
The result? Two neighbouring landowners can gain or lose land without signing a single document, simply because nature decided to redraw the map.
It creates a fascinating legal scenario: what looks like a fixed line on a title plan can actually be a boundary that moves with the landscape.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂

A landmark Court of Appeal ruling (White v Alder) has settled a terrifying truth for property buyers: if previous owners made an informal handshake agreement to fix a boundary line, even decades ago and never recorded on the deeds, it automatically binds all future owners.
In this case, a buyer bought a cottage with zero knowledge of a private boundary agreement made by the previous owner weeks earlier. Years later, when he demolished a boundary wall to build an extension, the neighbours sued.
He fought it all the way to the Court of Appeal, arguing it was unfair to be bound by a "secret" agreement. The court ruled against him. Because a boundary agreement fixes the actual extent of the land, you cannot buy more than the seller legally owns. Knowledge does not matter.
As an expert witness, I see how these hidden agreements blindside buyers. Before buying, extending or altering boundaries get a Chartered Land Surveyor to review title deeds, plans, physical evidence on the ground and any historical data.
The ground truth does not always match the Land Registry red line.
