Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 09, 2013 1:49 pm Hey all, We have entered into a contract with Clarendon to build on our land. We envisage construction within 3-4wks. Eden Brae has commenced building (foundation stage) on the block to our left. In this regard, they have put up a temporary steel fence which lightly protrudes on our block on most points and quite notably protrudes around the middle. Prior to Eden Brae's build, we had placed a sign 'do not dump' within our boundary. Their fence has even encompassed this sign as well. We are wondering what action we should take? I'm concerned as Clarendon advised us that if the space to the sides of the construction is under 1.8m (i.e. exactly to the boundary) they would charge additional site handling costs. Does Eden Brae have any temporary right to place their fence on our land? Any advise is most appreciated. Cheers, Sand. Re: Fence / Boundary issue - new build 2Mar 09, 2013 2:30 pm I wouldn't think they have any right to trespass on your land with fencing. Can you move it? I'd be contacting EB to insist it be shifted off your property. Re: Fence / Boundary issue - new build 3Mar 09, 2013 4:29 pm i also would be contacting eb to move and explain you are building it is your land . i suppose if worse comes to it you should just pulldown the offending fence. i i would also try and see if their SS is about when you visit your land and explain to him Re: Fence / Boundary issue - new build 4Mar 11, 2013 10:01 am I would also try to talk to Eden Brae directly. However another option is to contact council. My local council will instruct builders not to use other peoples land if asked by the owner. Building Standards; Getting It Right!
