Question:

Would we require building plans before erecting a wooden fence on the street side of our property?

Answer:

You do need to submit a plan for the construction of any street front boundary wall if it is a new wall or if you are replacing an existing wall and changing the material from which it is constructed.  You do not need to submit a plan if you are simply replacing an existing fence with one of the same material and style (i.e. a renovation).
