I am in the process of submitting an retrospective application for a garden
fence, and just noticed that I don't actually know what type it is (required
to specify on the form).

Photos are he

Any idea anyone?

P.S: it is basically 150mm slants (180cm high) butted against each other
with a very slight overlap. The difference in height in the photo is due to
the slop of the garden.

Does a fence 1.8m high require planning permission? Which country is
it in?

Feather edged wooden fence.Vertical if that needs to be stated.
No planning prmission is usually needed for wooden fences, unless there
are certain covenants or restrictions in the area you live.

Looks like feather edge boards to me.

Same country as you.... ;-) Just a little bit to the west.

Planning permission is apparently required if the fence in question is less
than 20m from a public road. Something to do with the potential obstraction
of view for cars travelling on the road.

I would't bother really, as I suspect that most people never do, but mine is
some 50m long, and runs along two itersecting roads. With the plans to sell
and move away in the next couple of years we thought that it could save us
the hastle should a clever solicitor starts to ask questions.

Our house is more than 2m high and less than 20m from a public road ...

It is just pressure treated wedge section. If you go to a timber mill
you can get it dirt cheap. If you buy it in quantity you can specify
the section. If you get it from B&Q or such remember to allow for
crappy bits you don't want to use.

Use sheradised nails. They are the first bits to fail and timber draws
moisture to the nails in it.

No it isn't. A fence needs planning permission if it is over 1m high
and *adjacent* to a road. It sounds like someone in the planning dept
has decided that "adjacent" = "less than 20m" but the planning law
isn't that precise.

And probably had planning permission obtained when it was built, or
whatever the equivalent was at the time.

Probably Ye Olde Royal Charter.

Then the relevant documents are available on ISTR the Scottish

take me some time rummaging through paperwork to find out their
names and now is not the time for me to try it. However, if you have

20m from a public road rings a bell, but my recollection is that the
structure must be over something like 2m high. It might even be over
1.8m high.

Not really. You just think that you do...

There's railway lines and the M6 nowadays and the Romans now sell deep
fried pizza rather than policing Hadrian's Wall. Eventually, they'll
come along with rucola for you to try.

Could be a while. At present, seems to be that the Polish are the latest
invaiders!
And I have to say, that from what I've seen, the invasion is positive to
all!

Incorrect. The Treaty of Union did not create one country from two.

There's railway lines and the M6 nowadays

There have been roads between the two countries for a very long
time. That proves nothing.

Last year such things were being determined by reference to SI 223
of 1992 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1992/Uksi_19920223_en_1.htm

Your fence would presumably come under Class 7 (Schedule 1 Part 2).

A couple of years ago I was looking at doing this myself, up here in
the slightly-more-subtropical north. The answer I got from the local
planning office was "anything more than 39 inches high needs planning
permission", which I took to be an archaism for 1m high.
Planted a hedge instead.
