What Is the 2m Fence Rule?

In England, you can normally build a fence up to 2 metres (approximately 6ft 6in) high without planning permission. Next to a highway or footpath, the limit lowers to 1 metre from ground level. Anything higher may require planning permission, so it is always worth checking with your local planning authority before starting your project.nThe tallest fence panels we sell are 6ft high, which falls within the permitted development limit for most gardens. If you are looking to achieve extra height - for example by adding a gravel board at the base or a trellis topper above the panel - the total combined height of your fence will determine whether planning permission is required. Always check with your local council if you are unsure.n
