Maybe stupid but I need to ask...
I have a low wall along the edge of my front garden that edges onto a public path. I want to knock half down when getting the driveway done to make the drive wider and add a patio / path to the front door and side gate.
Just wondering if I have to inform the council etc?
I know it's a silly question but I ask as when my sister sold her house years ago she said she had to plant a tree in the front garden to replace the one she removed that was there when she purchased the house.
Or can I dO what I want with my house, within reason?

You will not need to apply for planning permission to take down a fence, wall,or gate, or to alter, maintain or improve an existing fence, wall or gate (no matter how high) if you don't increase its height. In a conservation area, however, you might need conservation area consent to take down a fence, wall or gate.

We are thinking if we can reduce the lengeth of it we can put a path directly to the front door as aposed going left onto the drive and out. - Every one goes straigh across the grass currently.
