Agreed - even a gentle nudge was not really warranted here as everything in this thread has been perfectly civil. Over-moderation can be as bad as none at all... Anyway back on topic - imo the fence-garage-fence arrangement doesn't have to look worse than your neighbour having their garage immediately inside the fence-line. We have the latter option in our current house after the neighbour pulled down their old garage and erected a new one inside the fence-line on their side and I preferred how it used to look to how it looks now (especially given the old garage had nice bricking). It would be patently unreasonable to suggest that the neighbour shift their entire house further into their block if they are well within their rights to build on a zero-lot boundary as I gathered might have been suggested. The problem here ****** in the fact that the fence has been built on the OP's land, instead of right on the boundary as it should have been for all sorts of reasons (including possibly leading to the someone who buys the house from the OP down the track taking legal action to reclaim the land that should be inside the boundary fence from the unsuspecting person who buys the neighbours house) - I'm surprised the council let the OP do it in the first place in a residential area. Some people apparently have nothing better to do than comment on other people's sigs.

Unfortunately a PM was received after a previous post in this thread- a posted comment did come across as blunt and somewhat dismissive. As a moderator I chose to post a general, gentle reminder and as such I hope all concerned take it on board.
