My neighbour chainsawed my fence down during privacy row – the council approved my plans but I've taken extreme measures
Read on for more neighbour rows OF-FENCE My neighbour chainsawed my fence down during privacy row – the council approved my plans but I've taken extreme measures A WOMAN has been left raging after her neighbour chainsawed her fence down. Tamsin took to social media to share the nightmare feud she was having with her new next-door neighbour. 2 Tamsin Griff was stunned to see her neighbour had sawed down her fence Credit: TikTok/@tamsingriff 2 She decided to take extreme measure to ensure it didn't happen again Credit: Tiktok/@tamsingriff In the clip, Tamsin revealed she had just bought her first home and wanted to make the garden more private. But it seemed her neighbour had other ideas and wanted to keep the tiny 4ft fence that divided their outdoor space. She said: "When you buy your first house next to a neighbour who doesn't want privacy." Tamsin revealed that she needed the fence to be taller to make sure her dogs didn't escape. The council had come over to approve the high fence so she decided to go ahead with it. She decided to use small wooden panels and kept gaps in between them to ensure it didn't block her neighbour from getting sunlight. But one day she woke up to find the fence had been chainsawed down. Fuming over the action, Tamsin quickly installed cameras pointing to her fence before fixing it to ensure her neighbour didn't try it again. After fixing the fence, Tamsin decided to take extreme measures to warn her neighbour off from doing it again. While she was nice enough to leave gaps in her fence last time, she decided to take the privilege away and board the fence up. I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 She added: "As you can see, before we left gaps of light to come through. "We didn't need to this I was just being nice and it still backfired. "So it will be boarded up until we can afford someone to build it back up properly." The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @tamsingriff with over 400k views. People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments many claiming they would love a privacy fence from their neighbour.

I built a 6ft high wooden fence on MY land so my dogs wouldn't escape – but my nightmare neighbour chopped it down
Plus, what the council allegedly said when they were called AN OF-FENCE? I built a 6ft high wooden fence on MY land so my dogs wouldn't escape – but my nightmare neighbour chopped it down Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has been left fuming after her neighbour chopped down her fence that she built around her garden so her dogs wouldn't escape. The upset homeowner said her fence was within regulation height but that didn't stop her next door neighbour from destroying it. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Homeowner Tamsin was left horrified after her neighbour chopped down her fence despite it being within the regulation height Credit: TikTok/@tamsingriff Tamsin Griff, who posts under @tamsingriff, shared a video showing how the slats from her fence had been pushed onto the ground. She wrote: 'When you buy your first house next to a neighbour who doesn't want privacy.' Tamin explained that the 4ft wall that had been there before wasn't enough to contain her dogs and she needed something around 6ft in height. She added: 'Everyone is allowed a 6ft fence.' They had even gone slightly under that height to ensure they didn't go over the limit. Tamsin explained: 'For reference the fence height was 5'10 so we still had 2 inch to go higher. 'She's already had the council come round and check the fence as she complained about it, the council said there's nothing wrong with it we can go higher if we wanted to which we haven't.' However, even with the smart-looking wooden fence being within the allowed limit, Tamsin claimed her neighbour wasn't happy. Showing the dismantled fence, she shared: 'Neighbour didn't like it so chopped it down herself.' She added: 'Your sign to save more money for a house in the middle of nowhere where with no neighbours.' The moment furious neighbour yells 'If I die, you're for it' at student in bitter parking space row After her video has racked up over 1.7million views, people have been quick to say how they would also be angry. One said: 'Call police! That's destruction of property, your neighbour should be force to pay for that!' Another added: '7 years of hell with nosey neighbours, can confirm saving and buying a place in the middle of nowhere with no neighbours is healing!' And a third commented: 'Oh no I'd be absolutely furious.' 2 Tasmin had built the fence so her dogs would stay safe in the garden Credit: TikTok/@tamsingriff Despite what many people think, a garden fence can be as high as 100m. However, according to Online Land Registry: 'In the UK, the general rule is that a fence can be up to 2 metres (6.6 feet) high without the need for planning permission. 'However, if the fence is next to a road, footpath, or public highway, the maximum height is reduced to 1 metre (3.3 feet).'
