We have a very tall (over 10 feet) Leylandii hedge around two sides of
our back garden. I hate it and would like to it replace with a high
fence where we could then grow fruit trees etc alongside it. Can anyone

tell me what the tallest legal height is that one can have re a garden
fence in England ?-

My understanding is that below 2m you do not have to apply for planning
permission.

If you want to go higher than that, you will need planning permission
(and perhaps building regs permission re foundations).

So you could ask and see what they'd be likely to approve. Nothing to
lose if you're content to keep with a hedge if you don't like their
answer.




Sheds are a max of 1.8 metres (6ft) to the eaves without PP.
