How tall can a fence be?

Question

How tall may a fence be if I have one constructed or build one myself on my property?

Callum · Answer

Evening, your fence can be what you want it to be but if you start going over the 7ft Mark you’ll have to start getting concrete posts made specially. Thanks, Callum.

Dave · Answer

The fence can be up to 7 feet after that you need planning permission.

Daniel · Answer

2 meters, or 1 meter adjacent to a highway, but there are exceptions.

Rodney · Answer

The law stipulates that a fence cannot exceed 2 metres in height. If you need it taller then you will need planning permission.

Paul · Answer

Seven feet however you may need planning permission

Chris · Answer

A fence can be 9ft max I’d say but make sure the taller you go the more secure so ideally concrete posts and gravel boards.

Alfie · Answer

You can replace exactly what was there previously but 7ft

Sean · Answer

You have to keep your fence below 2meters in hight or you'll need to apply for planning permission from you local council

Sue · Answer

A fence can be a maximum of 8 ft in a residential area.
This can be a full height fence or lower fence with trellis.
A hedge though has no set height unless a neighbour complains about lack of light.
