\n\t\tThe street in Bristol saw the fence pop up suddenly (Picture: SWNS)<\/p>\n

Neighbours have been left scratching their heads after a living room window\u2019s view was blocked by a massive garden fence.<\/p>\n

Large wooden panels have completely obscured the view from inside after being placed just centimetres away from a house in Bristol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The home is currently unoccupied, but workers were seen carrying out construction at the property this week.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the fencing was installed to protect and separate the house from a parking area.<\/p>\n

But one neighbour said: \u2018When I initially saw the\u00a0fence,\u00a0I thought just the same as everyone else who\u2019s seen it really \u2013 I mean, what were they thinking?<\/p>\n

\u2018It totally blocks the\u00a0living\u00a0room\u00a0window from any light and view. Someone described it as daylight robbery, which did make me laugh!\u2019<\/p>\n

The property with the large\u00a0fence\u00a0built outside its\u00a0living\u00a0room\u00a0window is based in Lockleaze, Bristol.<\/p>\n

The neighbour added: \u2018A\u00a0fence\u00a0was then put up in front of the window as there\u2019s a gap between the house and driveway that maybe a small child could fall down, but it blocks the window.<\/p>\n

\u2018All it really needed was some rails, and the natural light would still enter the house. <\/p>\n

\u2018The only reason I can think of is that there is a gap between the house and the parking spot that a child could fall between, but surely a wire\u00a0fence\u00a0would stop that possibility and still let natural light through the window.\u2019<\/p>\n

A local worker said the drop would be considered a hazard, with a lot more pressure on housing providers to prevent hazards like the fall from this wall.<\/p>\n

Others have taken to social media<\/a> to mock the\u00a0fence.<\/p>\n

One wrote: \u2018Oh my goodness, that is beyond stupid!\u2019<\/p>\n

Another said: \u2018This is ridiculous, surely the person who put that up must have questioned it? They must have some common sense!\u2019<\/p>\n

There were rumours that the property is owned by Bristol City Council, but it has said it is not council-owned.<\/p>\n
