Nic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Can anyone help with advice, are there any planning permissions against this? My parents neighbour has built a wall at the end of their garden - and about 5 other neighbours - the wall on my parents side is 2m high and on his side is 3m high as his garden is 1m lower. The main wall is constructed using breeze blocks, on his side the wall has a decorative brickwork finish, on my parents side it is just plain breeze blocks. Apparently the guy has also removed branches from a tree with a preservation order on it behind my parents property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I believe there is a 6 foot limit on boundary fences, from his ground level. There are exceptions to this though, if it blocks light into windows for instance. A quick call to local planning would tell you all you need to know.

ripped_fear Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 the 6 foot rule only aplys to solid boundary's iirc if for instance you have a 6ft fence you can have another foot of trelace on the top. as for walls i thought the heights goes from which ever side will be higher so if the wall is 6 ft on his side but 8 foot on yours it is not legal it think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
