These northern boundaries are to be secured with fencing/walling. The eastern boundary is typically bound by the rear gardens of adjoining properties. These boundaries are to be retained as fencing/walling with limited alterations where required. The southern boundary is typically bound by rear gardens of adjoining properties. These boundaries are to be maintained as fencing/walling with limited alterations where required. On the upper tier, the existing boundary is to be realigned to match the folio for the site.
