Katie Wiltshire said she purchased shrubbery land to the side of the corner home with the intention of extending the two-bedroom property but was unable to gain planning permission.
Instead she used the land to extend the garden and also put up a 1.8 metre high wooden fence.
She has now asked Torfaen Borough Council for retrospective change of use planning permission, and to retain the fence, at the house in Snowdon Court, Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran as she said a lack of planning permission has held up a sale.
Ms Wiltshire had bought the land from the Bron Afon housing association in 2021 and has supplied a Land Registry completion of registration document with her application.
She said in the application: “I have moved to a bigger house and am in the process of selling this house but it has come to light that the use isn’t stated as garden, so is now holding up the sale. The land purchased was shrubbery and not open access. We removed the shrubbery and fenced it off.”
The application is being considered by the planning department.
