Fencing

how high a fence can I erect?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.31 PM

We have an old small party boundary wall between our neighbours and us. Our neighbour will not agree for us to erect a new wall. Could we erect a new fence on our land, so therefore near party boundary, so as to look better and be safer?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

The legal height of a fence is 6'6” or 2 meters. However, you can build your fence up to any height even more than 2 meters but you will have to get planning permission by the local authority but unlikely you will get it but its worth an ask. Without their permission, you are only allowed a fence up to 6'6” or 2 metres.
