Orkney

Orkney is an island chain in the Northern Isles of Scotland. It is located 10 miles north of the coast of Caithness and is composed of 70 islands, of which 20 have settlements. The archipelago has a total area of 523 square miles, meaning that it is the 6th largest Scottish island and the tenth largest island in the UK. Kirkwall is Orkney's most comprehensive administrative centre. Orkney constitutes one of the 32 council regions of Scotland, along with being a constituency of the Scottish Parliament, a lieutenancy area and an one-time county. The regional council is Orkney Islands Council, being one out of three councils in Scotland that have a majority of elected members who are independents. The majority of the islands are divided into two groups, the North and South Isles, and a feature of all the islands is the existence of Old Red Sandstone. With a mild climate and significantly fertile soil, farming remains to be the most considerable area of the economy. Exportation of beef, cheese, whisky, beer and fish also continues to have a role in the economy, but there has been an increase in areas including retail, representing 17 percent of total employment. Growing in importance are the wind and marine energy sources, and the island produces more than its yearly electrical energy demand through these methods.

Various festivals occur on the islands which draw in large numbers of residents and citizens, such as the Orkney International Science Festival and the St. Magnus International Arts Festival occurring each year in June.

    FAQs

    Do I need to tell my neighbours if I’m going to replace my fence?

    It’s a good idea to talk to your neighbours before you start any work to avoid confusion along the way. But if the fence is definitely your responsibility and on your property, there’s no legal obligation to notify them. It’s also a myth that you need to erect a fence with the flush side without posts facing your neighbour’s property.

    How close can I build to my neighbour’s fence?

    As a home or property owner, you’re generally allowed to build next to your neighbour’s fence as long as it’s on your own side of the property. With that in mind, there are certain laws that regulate how close a fence can be built to buildings on the same lot or neighbouring lots. In addition, there are also local bylaws that provide limitations on the placements as well as height of fences so as to address safety hazards. In this post, we’re going to give you a good insight into how close you can build to your neighbour. Let’s take a look!

     

    In general, if the fence is in your boundary then you’re allowed to build a 2-metre high brick or wooden fence or wall. However, this may differ depending on your location in the UK. As a result, you may want to reach out to your municipality’s building department in order to determine what these rules and limitations are in your area. In the events whereby there are no such restrictions but you’re still concerned, you can try informing your neighbour what your concerns are. However, if they’re not receptive there are some steps you can take to ensure your plans go as smoothly as possible. These steps include the following:

    • Ensure to leave sufficient space for both the posts and footings
    • Stagger your fence posts in order to make sure you’re not digging your neighbour’s
    • Consider using concrete posts as they’re much stronger and will last a lot longer
    • Use kickers or plinths for raised gardens and flower beds
    • Make use of concrete plinths as they won’t rot over time like a wooden fence.
    How do I find out who owns a fence?

    Speaking to the owners of the neighbouring properties is recommended. If you are still unsure, you may need to check the original deeds to the property. Generally the rule is that you are responsible for the fence at the right hand side of your property.

    How to build a fence?

    The best way to build a fence depends on what style it is, as different types have different components. However, fencing made up of posts and panels is pretty common. To put this up, you’ll need to start by measuring out and digging holes for your fence posts. Then you’ll need to fit the panels between them and use concrete to secure the posts in the ground.
