Is the SCREEN in the following a Free Standing Structures in UK Planning?
In all cases the screen is 336cm tall and about 1m wide. It is a wooden frame covered with tarpaulin. Part of the frame goes into the ground. It acts like a sail in the wind. In all cases the fence is a border fence between two properties subject to a 2m height.
1. If the wooden frame of the screen is screwed to the fence? Is it free standing?
2. If the screws are removed and the screen is propped up with 2 shovels. It would fall over in the wind if the shovels were not there. Is it free standing then?
3. If the screws and shovels are removed, but a large stone at the base then wedges the screen to the fence. It would fall over in the wind if the stone was removed. Is it free standing then?
4. In all cases the screen would fall over in the wind if the fence did not exist at all. Is it free standing then?
5. In all these cases, would the screen be considered part of the boundary enclosure?
