Do I Need Planning Permission to put a 2metre boundary fence up?
My new place in Canterbury, England doesn't have an enclosed rear garden due to a fence never being erected. Do I need planning permission from the council to erect a 2 metre high fence at the edge of my boundary with the public pavement?
Answers:
The maximum height is 6 foot 6 inches between neighbours. I also have an open piece of land at the end of my garden, approx. 50 from a main road and I have put a 7 foot fence up there. 2 foot concrete kick boards then a 5 foot wooden fence on top of it. I'm not near other houses so it doesn't block anyones light, which is the main concern.
dont worry as long as the fence is wood and it will not block anybodys view
You might check it out with your council
I think that you do need planning permission if it borders a public pavement. Normally you are only allowed a 3ft high fence. You can always ask - it shouldn't cost you anything, they would also give you some indication that if planning permission is required - how likely it is to be granted
If it's more than 1.8m in height, then I suspect you might. Probably best to contact your local planning office and ask.
Where the planes going to land ?
Yes i think you do, i would check because they can make you take it down.
You would be best to write to your local council advising them of your intentions and to ask if permission is required. They should give you all the information and advise what steps need to be taken.
Not normally, however you should check your land deeds, some have restrictions ie 'open plan' Have any of the property's around you get fence's ? if so it is a good indication that you can fence in your rear garden, but it could just take a phone call to your local council to find out for sure.
My friend has just built an office at the bottom of their garden. The conversation I had with the builder three weeks ago was that even a brick/stone erection did not need planning permission as long as it did not exceed 2 metres in height.
I hope this helps.
You can erect a fence providing a) you do not live in an open plan area - check your Title Deeds b) it is not over 2 metres high and c) you do not encroach on the public footpath or cause obstruction (not blocking view of motorists). Check with your local Council before erecting a fence or they could make you remove it if it infringes any Planning Laws.
depends where it is if on a public walk way the fence can't be above 1 metre and the rest above 6 foot with out planning permission. only way to get it higher is with a hedge.
