Moving fence position (front / back garden dividing fence)

[OscarJ]

Hi all,
Am on a new build estate and strangely we have got a very large front garden. I want to move the fence that divides front/back garden towards the front of the house to make more useful area in the back garden. Layout below… I have assumed this needs no planning permission, but offering it up here for any views? The driveway that is is adjacent to is my neighbour… he is aware and has no problem with the plan.

Doubt it would need PP unless you want the height over 2m. However as a new build there maybe covenants regarding what you can do in the first 2 years after the development is finished.
I would also check there are no cable wayleaves that would fall inside the extended position

I’d just get on with it in a swift opertaion. Worse case is you’ll have to stick it back

Next door OK with the change?

A flower bed in front of the new fence position would reduce the impact.

Yes this is the plan!

Almost certainly a covenant against it on a new build estate, and it's hard to tell if you might be causing visibility splay issues for your neighbour coming out their drive...

That said, half the folk where I live ripped up their entire front garden and extended their driveway while building was still going on, so clearly nobody is interested in enforcing covenants.
