If you paint your fence without the necessary planning permission in East Linton's conservation area, you could face enforcement action from the council. This might include a fixed penalty notice, and you may be required to revert any unauthorized work back to its original state.
Here's a quick summary of what might happen:
| Consequence | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed Penalty Notice | £150 for domestic, £400 for commercial. |
| Requirement to Restore | You may need to revert the property to its original condition. |
| Potential Enforcement Action | Could involve further legal actions by the council. |
It’s always a good idea to check with the council before making any changes to your property, especially in a conservation area. If you believe your work requires consent, consider checking the online planning register.
