How high can a fence be on my front garden?
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.56 PM
I want put a fence up along the footpath boundary at the front of my property but am unsure how high I can go so as not to upset planning?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You will need to apply for planning permission if you wish to erect or add to a fence, wall or gate and:
it would be over 1 metre high and next to a highway used by vehicles (or the footpath of such a highway); or over 2 metres high elsewhere; or
your right to put up or alter fences, walls and gates is removed by an article 4 direction or a planning condition; or
your house is a listed building or in the curtilage of a listed building.
the fence, wall or gate, or any other boundary involved, forms a boundary with a neighbouring listed building or its curtilage.

3ft is the highest in your front garden without planning permission.
