The East Lothian Commission rejected the planning permission for the wooden fence in the summer and issued an enforcement notice to the house owner. However, after appealing to the Scottish ministers, the homeowner Kenneth Young insisted that the structure is a trellis for climbing plants-a hedge pointing to a neighboring country and no planning permission is required. Due to "management errors", the local authorities have now withdrawn the enforcement notice. However, in a letter to a Scottish government reporter, they said: “We intend to correct this error and retain this implementation notice accordingly. Mr. Young told reporters that the structure, which he calls a plant support structure, will eventually be completely Covered by mature plants. Local authorities have established a policy of opening the front garden, which applies to the Clerkington Road area, although it does allow hedges and fences to be no more than one metre in height. The committee’s planning officials say that in some places The "fence" is two meters high. Mr. Young said in an appeal that the structure was praised by some neighbors. He said: "The structure we built in the front garden is a trellis that supports our evergreen climbing plants. "It was built to match the height of the neighbor's hedge, and painted the same color so that it does not appear out of place when the plant grows. "These plants bloom from early spring to late autumn and are good for butterflies, bees and other insects. "In 2020, many neighbors commented that it looks cute, and once the entire structure is completed, it will look beautiful. It is almost covered by mature plants. "These plants are only one year old, and you have already seen it It is already quite large, so it will soon be able to completely cover the entire structure and look like the green hedges of other neighbors. The council agreed that the open front gardens in the town’s Clerkington Road and Burnside areas were “unique features” and allowed the structure to set a precedent.
