Garden Fence Owners Warned About Unknown Rule

Garden owners have been cautioned about a little-known rule that could see them 'breaking the law' if their garden fence exceeds a certain height. Gardening experts suggest several ways to maintain privacy from "nosy neighbours" without violating any regulations.

"As the weather begins to warm up and families plan to spend more time outdoors during the spring and summer months, now is the ideal time to find your solution. You might consider increasing your fence height, but remember, you'll need planning permission for any fences taller than two metres." It's worth noting that while you can build or create your fence to any height, even more than 2 meters, you will need to obtain planning permission from the relevant UK authorities at your local land registry offices. Without their approval, you're only permitted a fence up to 6'6".", reports Birmingham Live.

However, they caution that the legal limit for a fence without planning permission is two metres. Should you wish to exceed this height, you'll need to secure the appropriate permissions. For those seeking additional cover, perennial borders and trees are viable options.
