Advice On Lofts In Fife

[STB]

My uncle talking to a neighbour who said did he have permision to build a pigeon loft in his garden . He then phoned fife council planing who have said he needs a letter of consent from them which costs £120 and the loft cannot be more than 4m long x 1.8 m wide and 2m high also must be 1.5 meters away from neighbours boundrie fences . Not much of a loft that 12 x 6 . They said once he pays the £120 he will get a letter of consent and can put the loft up and they will check its the corret dimensions once its up . Anyone else have those restrictions . Had hoped to put up 2 x 16 x 8 foot lofts .

Does he own the house ? If so he can put up what he wants ,as long as it's not a permanent fixture . IE brick built . Oh and you being a joiner like 4m is not 12 feet it's nearly 15 feet lol .and any other place if your building even an extension it's a meter away from your neighbours boundary not 1.5 m .

It's not just in Fife there are some places in the towns you are not allowed to keep pigeons, even if you own the house, I live in Leven there are about 5 lofts in Leven but there are some houses where it is not allowed, for some reason or not, a lot depends on what is on your deeds , STB,s uncle is obviously allowed pigeons so no problem there.

Yes he is allowed pigeons but hadnt exspected the loft size to be so small archie . Is that par for the course . He bought the cottage as there were no restrictions on the deeds but some of the modern bungalows he looked at had no livestock on them .

Its 1.5 m they have stated i have phoned the planning in fife council .com this morning . Yes he owns the house .but they have confirmed max is 4m x 1.8 .or less for a pigeon loft . 1m = 3ft 3inches x 4 is 13ft no 15ft so its 3 x 1240 sheets which is 12ft nae wastage on cut sheets hear . Lol 4.8 is just under 16ft .

No Archie just asked not complaining but thought best to check first . The girl in planning was helpfull and he can get a letter of consent from them for £120 and then theres no come back . Been checking through other councils regs some are not more that 30% of curtilage (garden size ) other not more than than 50% curtilage some like fife state a specific size and even seen one that only permits 12 pigeons to be kept. Lol not muchfeeding for percie there . You dont have size restrictions on other none permenant structures but if pigeons are kept the size is stated . Anyway 12 ft and with the freshsea air it might exspand in time lol

the good thing about it walter is he gas a 10ft high walled garden round the garden round it. His cottage has dormer up stairs but the cottages next door dont so cant actually see into his garden so we will be using the ways and the means lol

[THE FIFER]

I would explain this size would not be good for the birds as they require space for air etc, good that the neighbour is not against, I think he will get it in the end, and what the pigeon Fanciers do to help people in need etc,

4m is not 12 feet it's nearly 15 feet lol. Sorry 4m is 13.2 feet lol.

Well have 2 or 3 more then I suppose.

 

My brother -in law is on a council where some parts are barred from having pigeons. I challenged him that no bye law can supersede a law of the land - as that fancier got a few grand compensation when he went to court against Leicester council.

He said 'Well no one has every challenged it ... or is likely to'.
