The question about raised flower beds is an interesting one; I have two
such, also around 24 inches high, and I'm afraid it didn't occur to me
to seek permission to build them.

Definitely not required for them. It was brough in to stop people
standing or even sitting on raised decking and overlooking a neighbour's
garden, invading their privacy.

While you might climb onto a raised flowerbed to dig it, you are not
standing around chatting and drinking there and taking a good look in
neighbouring gardens.
