Check regulations with your local council." -- 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. -- hugh "Believe nothing.

writes No!! They are not irrelevant at all if you ever fall out with your neighbours over trees and fences and you've gone against your deeds. Their deeds will be similar so they know what is allowed and won't hesitate to use it against you to press their case. The covenants are between you and the seller of the property, not between you and your neighbours even though the seller might be a developer who has entered into similar contracts with every other buyer on an estate - but IANAL -- hugh "Believe nothing.

Can anyone tell me what the tallest legal height is that one can have re a garden fence in England ? 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? -- Martin 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. -- Residing on low ground in North Staffordshire |

Check regulations with your local council." 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 ? -- http://www.ariesval.co.uk/val 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. Bill |

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

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;-) Tina |
