NeilKB Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Can anyone advise me if I need planning permission to replace a brick wall at the pavement edge in front of my property in Worlingham Road with a wooden fence, or indeed if it is mandatory to have a brick wall fronting the property?

James Barber Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 As long as the front fence doesnt go above waist height you can change it as you wish. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42590-front-wall-fences/#findComment-733188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Is that official height, James? Whose waist? There's a bit of difference between Kylie Minogue and Peter Crouch when it comes to waist heights.

The Minkey Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You need to apply for permission if the fence bordering a highway, or footpath bordering a highway, is over 1 metre high: https://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/fenceswallsgates/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42590-front-wall-fences/#findComment-733268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Insurance companies will not pay up for any damages to fences but usually will for brick walls. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42590-front-wall-fences/#findComment-733345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
