Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly had plans to build a high fence surrounding their new lakeside Ohio mansion<\/a> for privacy and security, but were shot down by village planners. <\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail, the couple wanted to erect an 8-foot fence<\/a> to wall in their Bratenahl estate, which sits along Lake Erie. <\/p>\n

However, the Bratenahl Architectural Review Board<\/a> either scrapped or ignored the request on two separate meeting dates earlier this month and in August, due to code that requires fences around lakefront homes be capped at 2 and a half feet \u2014 unless they are at least 75 percent see-through \u2014 in order to preserve lake views and property values. <\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail, the couple wanted to build a full, 8-foot fence surrounding the property. (Seen above: Their new Ohio house.) FOX<\/p>\n

Per the outlet, discussion with neighbors and the village convinced the couple to settle for a lower fence that did not enclose their entire property. Kelce \u2014 who purchased the house in March \u2014 was reportedly \u201cgracious\u201d when dealing with the village officials regarding the structural request.<\/p>\n

Page Six has reached out to Swift\u2019s representatives for comment. <\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce have taken other precautions besides fencing to secure their new home. Page Six exclusively learned that the couple have set up a warning alarm<\/a> surrounding the house.<\/p>\n

The village board says fences around lakefront homes need to be capped at 2 and a half feet to preserve views of Lake Erie. (Seen above is an aerial shot of the pair\u2019s mansion.) Google Maps<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce reportedly discussed this with the village and neighbors, and agreed on a shorter fence that doesn\u2019t completely enclose the property (pictured above). FOX<\/p>\n

\u201cA neighbor approached the house and got a voice warning about not passing onto the property after getting too close to the house,\u201d a neighbor recently shared with us.<\/p>\n

However, the superstar couple apparently haven\u2019t caused much commotion moving in, we\u2019ve been told. <\/p>\n

\u201cSomething may have been set up at that particular home, which is their private estate, but in terms of any additional fencing for the village, I\u2019m not aware of that,\u201d a veteran real estate agent in the area, Patricia Knight Gary of Howard Hanna realty, exclusively told Page Six. \u201cWe found out publicly when everyone else did [about their move].\u201d<\/p>\n

Knight Gary added that the neighbors are excited to see if they can catch a glimpse of the newlyweds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kelce purchased the home prior to marrying Swift in July at Madison Square Garden<\/a>. The 21,000-square-foot mansion went for $5.35 million, and boasts 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a game room and a theater.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of the couple\u2019s growing real estate portfolio, which includes properties in Kansas, New York, Tennessee, Rhode Island and California. <\/p>\n
