A Kenilworth man could be forced to pull down a fence at his Littleton Close home if a further appeal is rejected.
Matthew Fleming is appealing against Warwick District Council's decision to refuse retrospective planning permission of a fence outside his home.
Mr Fleming, who has lived at the property since September 2006, put up the fence as, he says, he did
not realise planning permission was needed.
Neighbours contacted the district council to inform them of what Mr Fleming had done and officers visited his home to notify him that he would need to seek permission.
Sandip Sahota, senior planning officer at Warwick District Council, said: "He submitted retrospective planning permission but that was refused. He then appealed but it was refused again. He appealed again and it was dismissed and enforcement was put in place on Friday to make sure he takes the fence down within two months.
"He has now appealed again but it is unlikely that it will go through. It is almost definite that it will be refused and he will have until December 12 to take it down."
Consultation letters were sent out to neighbours who objected to the plans.
The District Planning Authority refused to give permission, saying the fencing has a 'detrimental impact' on the local area.
Mr Sahota added: "When the development was built we took all rights away to put fences up due to the open plan layout of the area."
Mr Fleming was not available for comment but in a letter to Warwick District Council he apologised to the council and residents of the close if any offence had been caused.
He said he had lived in Birmingham all his life and having owned numerous properties in that area had erected several fences and it would not have occurred to him that he would need to seek permission for the same.
