"A couple in an affluent Dorset suburb are facing a council order to dismantle their 6.5ft garden fence, which officials have branded ugly and 'out of character' for the prestigious neighbourhood."
"The Toomers believed that they were operating within permitted development rules. However, the Toomers were later informed by local council officials that fences bordering a highway are restricted to one metre (3.2ft) in height."
"Despite complying with the directive and receiving no public objections, the council ultimately rejected their application, stating the timber structure was 'out of character' for the area."
