Resident used fence panels to create a 'private garden' in a shared outdoor space

A resident has used fence panels to create a 'private garden' in a shared outdoor space - dubbed a 'SHEEP PEN' by angry neighbours.

Flat owner Sarah Daly has incensed people in her building by making a 1.8m fenced-off area on the lawn outside.

She has been granted a "certificate of lawful development" by the council to create the private area.

But she has been accused of creating an 'eyesore' by the other three flat owners in the Victorian villa complex in posh Cheltenham, Glos.

Neighbour Alice Reeves, 46, said it had been deeply upsetting - and it had always been used as a shared garden.

She said Ms Daly had moved in five years ago and had immediately made her intention to have more privacy clear.

But she didn't expect it would have such an impact on those living there.
