In the construction or alteration of a gate, gateway, railing or wooden fence or a wall of brick or stone you must ensure the following:
• The height of a wall or fence within or bounding any garden or other space in front of a house shall not exceed 1.2 metres or 2.0m in height if located to the rear of a house.
• Every wall other than a dry or natural stone wall bounding any garden or other space shall be capped and the face of any wall of concrete or concrete block (other than blocks with decorative finish) which will be visible from any road, path or public area, including public open space, shall be rendered or plastered.
• No garden boundary shall be a metal palisade or other security type fence.
The plastering or capping of a concrete block or mass concrete wall does not in itself require planning permission but in the interests of residential amenity every effort should be made to achieve a finish which is consistent with that of your property and other buildings in the area.
