Might be worth speaking to someone in the know for an opinion . Try this lady, she's an old school friend of mine and is involved in construction project management as well as being an architectural historian .

Our wall is short and easy to jump over and does not have any deterrents on it (i.e. metal spikes etc). We have recently experienced multiple attempts to gain access to our house and we would like to modify the wall/build a new one that will make it higher and less easy to jump over and also incorporate deterrents (thinking combining brick and iron with metal spikes). We are wanting to maintain the image and respect the heritage of the area we live in but also increase our safety and security without irritating the council. Can we go ahead with making changes to the wall or do we need to apply for permission to the council?
