"A parish councillor and his partner are embroiled in a protracted four-year High Court battle after their neighbour's workmen began dismantling the "dog-proof fence" surrounding their 1.2m East Sussex country home. The dispute centres on a contentious boundary line. David Todd, 69, and Caroline Hodge, 65, purchased Wyland Wood, a 2.7-acre property, in 2018. They claim they were assured by estate agents that the property was enclosed by a secure fence, vital for the safety of their two Labradors."
"London's High Court heard that Mr Marsh "unilaterally decided to take down" the existing fence, replacing it in a new position that encroaches upon what Mr Todd and Ms Hodge maintain is part of their garden. The Marshes, conversely, contend that the original fence was incorrectly placed. They argue it not only encloses land they purchased but also renders their meadow acquired through a company owned by Mr Ma"
A parish councillor and his partner are involved in a four-year High Court battle over a dog-proof fence around their East Sussex home. They bought a 2.7-acre property in 2018 and say estate agents assured them the land was enclosed by a secure fence for their two Labradors. The dispute began after new neighbours bought adjacent woodland and meadow in May 2021 and removed the existing fence, replacing it in a new position. The court heard the neighbour unilaterally decided to take down the fence and relocate it, which the homeowners say encroaches on their garden. The neighbours argue the original fence was incorrectly placed and that it affects land they acquired.
