  • How high a fence can I put up at the front of the house?

    I have 12/15ft high evergreens, but the fuckers are coming down to make way for a parking area at the top of the garden. I’ll replant the strip vacated by the conifers with laurel, but they’ll take a little while to establish and we still want to maintain a level of privacy

  • laurel

    Yew will give you a denser hedge.
    London?
    Many local authorities have a formal limit of 6ft.
    I have seen few enforcement notices issued for 1ft concrete gravel board and 6ft fence panel.

  • I'm thinking about a 6-7ft fence around our place, we're on a corner so don't get any privacy at all... OH was against it because "it would spoil the look of the house from the street", which seems absolutely daft to me... She's come around to the idea since the neighbours did it a couple of months back... 🙄

  • Generally speaking you need planning for anything over 6ft, although some local authorities do differ so worth checking with yours.
