Mental Health and Planning
<p>There is a 2m height restriction on border fences in the UK.</p>
<p>Can the council allow that planning restriction to be circumvented if the perpetrator is claiming to have mental health problems? Can they allow this if those actions are having a detrimental effect on the lives of the victims?</p>

<h2>Enforcement of the law is discretionary</h2>
<p>The police, or council, or any other administrative authority can decide if they will enforce the law on a case by case basis. They are entitled to consider the mental state of the alleged perpetrator. They can also consider the victims. They do not have to justify their discretion.</p>
