no one can
object to 2M if its on your land.

That is not correct if the land adjoins a public road or footpath,
or where contrary local bylaws, covenants or planning restrictions are
currently in force.

sorry but I thought this bit was back behind the house?

Surely a happy to all precedent could be established, to cover all

If you look up the law/regulation all it says is that cuttings/branches
belong
to the owner of the tree/hedge.

As owner he can give the material to the neighbour, if mutually agreed.

and the other way around too :-)

Only when the music stops perhaps !

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.

So you need the Deeds to tell you what covenants might be attached to
your property.
Indeed you do :-(

Without planning consent 2M but you can go above this with a bit of
trellis or plants, if you like your neighbours and they agree then there
is no reason to not put up a fence the height you want, but no one can
object to 2M if its on your land.

My daughter lives on a hill, her garden is about a metre above her neighbour's
garden. Is the 2 metres measured above her own garden or her neighbour's garden?

Neighbours.

Who says? The hedge is completely within her garden.
My deeds state that I must keep a stock proof fence all round the
property, also that I may not use the premises as a lunatic asylum
(sic). Many may ask what am I doing here then.

That's what my hubby says too but it seems rather strange when an
evergreen hedge way over 10 feet is allowed but not a fence :(

I suppose a decorative type of trellis on top of a 6 ft fence would be OK
?

There is a school of thoght that prefers fence heights to be 1.5m . At this
height a miscreant in your garden can easily be seen from adjacent
properties. This height is recomended from the crime prevention perspective.

It says in my deeds that I can keep pigs, so I can. If I want to. I

The tallest legal height for a fence in the U.K. is six foot or 1.8 metres.

Hope this helps

We've already covered this one!

This is not the "tallest legal height" - it's just the height beyond which you have to apply for planning permission.

No, I don't think so. My point was that it's important what your deeds say,
a previous poster said ignore them.
So, alas, I cannot be a tallow candle maker, but I can keep pigs. I might
just do that, I have plenty of room and I like pork and bacon.
The Council might not like it but they cannot touch me for it, my deeds say
I can do it;-)
