Fencing

Do you need planning permission to put a fence up in your front garden

Anonymous user 9 March 2024 - 3.05 PM

Hi do I need planning permission to put up a 3ft fence in my front garden as I live in a residential area with cars keep parking on the path and my kids almost got ran over the other day so now I want to put a fence up around the garden to stop them just running out of the garden and straight into the street

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, As a "general" rule of thumb, you can have up to a 1M high fence in the front garden or up to a 2M high fence in the rear garden without the need for planning permission. Always best to check with the local planning office though for your specific location - but from what you have said, I cannot see why it would be a problem. I hope this helps/ Regards BCA

Hi have done this for a customer up to 1 metre high is usually ok if you give your local planning office a ring they will tell you over the phone.... just to be on the safe side

You probably don't need planning permission but some housing estates do have restrictions on what type of fence if any you can have. You can usually find this out in the deeds to you house.

3ft fence should be ok but best to always check with the planning office for your area
