PLANS for a new fence to be erected at a residential property in Prestonpans have been submitted to East Lothian Council.

The change of use application is being overseen by agent Lothian Plans and would see the existing garden fence at 5 Suthren Yett demolished and replaced by another fence extended to the limits of the property.

The current area is an open green space and the new fence would encompass 49.4m2 of additional land into the existing garden.

The plans, from David Robertson, would see the new fence come in line with a neighbouring property, whose fence already extends to the limit of its property.

The fence would be made of sawn soft wood slats with rails and fence posts made of the same material.

A decision is set to made by September 11.
