garden gates and fence

I have put a garden fence up around my property [ 1] to make it look nice [ 2 ] the hight of the fence and gate is no more than 1mtr800 Made this high  to stop my dog jumping the fence so that he could not bite any one,do not  think he would but was not takeing any chancers , good idear i thought ? the fence and gate`s i payed lot of money  for,  but well worth it I thought  .

the next thing i know is i get a letter from  Leeds  city planning, saying that  they have had a complaint about my gate and fence beaing too high so  you have   28 days to remove it or i would be liable ,they told me   i could apply for planning but they would not support it but it would give me the right to appeal there dissision , that would cost me £172  for them to say no .

what they are say is my fence can not be more than 1 mtre high at  the front, any thing on the dividing side`s can be what you want all so if no one had made a compaint they would not have made any thing to do any way just shows what the law is.

What i am saying is how will a 1 mtre fence Keep my dog in any one can jump a 1 mtre fence and to be honest how can you make a 1mtre fence look nice .

I think the planning law should be up dated to 2013  14 we live in a more dangerouse place now from when that law was probably passed and we need to make our prpoerty more safe,  council manager and others have said that the gates and fence is a credit it to the street and looks great.

my petition is to at least allow a 2 mtre fence on any property without planning
