Many house covenants are to do with previous use. Old farms having no chicken, pig etc covenants for example.
Yup, that’s absolutely right.

We’re also not supposed to have hedges yet we’ve always had one here, and another weird rule is that every garden has to have an apple tree
my cousin bought a house that was on the site of a once market garden

he has to have fruit tree(s) on his property

he actually turned this into a small business growing fruit/chilli's etc

Wonder if any potential buyers would be put off if we didn’t have the tree?!

Looking at it now, there are hundreds of apples on it, I’ve never actually noticed that many before yet it’s only a small tree really. We’ll be out there in a few weeks time moving the fallen apples from the ground to the wheelie bin!

Well done for standing your ground and putting the conifers in!

I don’t think you’ve heard the last of it for now, but stand firm with them

So without asking permission I have been and brought 6 conifers to make a hedge DH went and removed all the plants that passed the test and has put them in our garden. As soon as the first conifer was in sight they were out.

They said our house is not like yours. You get to see the street but we are in the corner so our view is your drive. He stuck to his guns and explained we had brought these to make a hedge.

He explained these were the slow growers and cost us £150. We have done this so you do not see what’s in our drive. He went on to say he will keep them caravan height and keep them tidy.

They said is the van not going to storage? He said no it’s staying. They went in and have then stood then the front window staring with arms folded.

I made my appearance with a big bag of miracle grow Which I sprinkled neat all over them! I did not make eye contact with the window.

We are all detached with plenty of place between houses. I feel so much better. We have tried to do it in a nice way but I am so glad we will soon have a hedge for privacy.

Thank you for all options for and against. They have helped me with perspective.

good call

never nice to fall out with next door, i did many years ago, we built a conservatory on the rear of our house, the lady next door thought it was going to be of our lounge ( through the french doors ) it wasnt, it was of our dining room ( access through a new door way, which was a rather large window )

The roof sloped away from her side, the irony was she had a pergola above her french doors that cut out loads of light
