Corner plot garden help!
Comments (3)Without an express grant of planning permission you can only put a 1m high fence/wall up next to a highway so in this case, the front and the side. What is considered to be "next" to a highway is a matter of interpretation. Otherwise, you can put up to a 2m fence or wall up. You can replace any existing fences on a like for like height basis without planning permission also. It is highly unlikely you would ever get permission to put up a 2m high fence to the front and its doubtful for the side too next to the highway. However, you could apply with a scheme to set back the fence to the side garden to lessen the impact which could smooth the way for a grant of planning permisison for a higher fence. One alternative is to plant a hedge (with or without a 1m fence / wall to the front and side). These are not subject to the 1m / 2m rules (providing you don't get into high hedge territory). You would then have privacy and security. I hope that helps....See Moregarage conversion and house extension

Comments (17)I think Karen probably means extending......................you just need to know where the 'build line' is, which normally runs from the front of your house to the fronts of the others. Councils do not generally like building in front of the build line. With regards fencing, the general rule of thumb as per my render above, that you cannot put a 6 ft fence within 1 metre of the highway without permission, thus, why I chose to mark it 1 metre back of that. The council can tell you all of this, but you might find the Planning Portal very useful, there's an 'interactive' house on there, which you can explore to see what you do and don't need permission for....See MoreHELP: Garden fence for corner plot!
Comments (14)We actually have planning to do a side and rear (side for utility and downstairs w/c) but we’ve decided just to stick to the rear and then utilise the side of the plot as a garden area....See MoreJonathan
6 years agoAssuming you move the front door to the garage side and that you could get the necessary planning permission for this extension you could add significantly to the square footage and potentially enclose the whole garden.
Given that this would require new kitchens and bathrooms this is a large project but could add more than you spend to the value. Do you have a budget in mind?

6 years agoI think that you should speak to the planners about what they will allow but in the meantime I enclose a quick sketch.
When you have exact measurements I would post another dilemma in this forum but include measurements, where the doors are going to be into the garden from the house, the direction of the sun and the budget you have put aside for the garden.
