“How High Can a Garden Fence Be Without Planning Permission?” is one of the questions we're asked most about garden fencing for privacy, security and boundaries here in Worcestershire. This guide covers what actually affects the answer, from an SPR Trees & Landscapes team that's been doing this work for over 15 years.
What to Check First
Rules around permitted development, boundary heights and planning permission vary by property and by local authority area within Worcestershire. Conservation areas, listed buildings and properties with existing planning conditions can all have different requirements from a standard residential garden.
Our Advice
We'd always recommend checking with your local planning authority before starting work if you're at all unsure, particularly for anything permanent or on a shared boundary. We're happy to advise on what we typically see accepted locally, though the final check is always with the council.
