SIR - With regard to our fence, we find it laughable that Mr Duerden, the planning and development control manager, should comment that the council "Will ensure that the condition is complied with in its entirety".

We would like to remind Mr Duerden that these are the conditions that we asked the planning inspectorate to put in place and the very same conditions that the council refused in our planning application.

Yes, it may be a long fence but we cannot change the size, shape or position of our garden!

TIM and AMANDA McCARTHY, Droitwich.
