Hello everyone,
Last year, I rebuilt the wall shared with my neighbor and installed a fence.
Now, I would like to do the same at the back of the property. The problem is that, according to the city’s building regulations, a new wall must be at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the water body. This would mean losing about 2 meters (6.5 feet) of my garden, which I don’t want to do. Therefore, I can only repair the existing wall.
Can anyone recommend an approach?
Kind regards

Maybe you can divide the wall into sections (for example, three), demolish and rebuild these sections one after the other. This way, two-thirds of the wall would always remain intact, and the existing rights would be preserved. We used this method to renovate our roof frame on the exterior, with approval from the building authority. I would actually need to inquire about that. However, almost all requests are initially met with resistance.

I would take that bold statement even further and say that without the wall, the garden actually feels bigger because it seems like the stream is still part of the property.
I would simply install an "invisible" fence. But I know that wasn’t the question! Yes, I agree with you. But the ground behind the wall is higher and protects me from water.
I will take another close-up photo tomorrow.
