Is it worth building a fence around front garden?

A fence will not raise the price of the property in any way. However, a well maintained fence and garden might make the property more interesting and desirable, making it a bit easier to sell (maybe).
I'd say you shouldn't rely on the fence doing you any good when you decide to sell.
So, I guess you're really paying the price for your own comfort, so consider if it's worth it.

Yes that would be the only practical way of keeping him in. If I erected barbed wire there would be an uproar about animal cruelty, but a hedge, an award for environmentalism! There is no shading on others property either because I'm the most Northward of the adjoined houses. It would take time though and he is fully grown.

Is a hedge an 'erection though?



My other idea is a retractable lead secured a metre or so up so it doesn't tangle around his legs.

Don't take my word for it, but I believe living plants (ie hedging tree species) without any support or man-made structure cannot be classified as a building or erection in any way.

This guy who calls himself an expert reckons builders can't be bothered with these covenants.

If the developmnt is over a couple of years old, dont waste stamp writing to the developer as they have sold now and couldnt care less
