A householder wants to surround his property with a 2m high fence to keep out thieves and stop people parking on his land.

Jake Staples has applied for planning permission for the extra security at his house on Stow Road at Outwell, between Downham Market and Wisbech, which also includes a metal gate.

He says in his application: "Since moving into my property I have experienced multiple incidents of theft, leading to costly repairs, as well as unauthorized vehicles parking on my land.

"The proposed fence and gate are intended to enhance security, prevent trespassing, and protect my property."

Mr Staples adds he also plans to raise livestock on the premises, and the fencing will "help ensure their safety and containment".

A decision is expected from West Norfolk council later this year.
