Hi
What is the maximum height of a timber fence between two detached properties?
Presumably this is classed as a Party Fence inasmuch as the fence is between two front gardens.
The properties are not on a public highway - in fact the road is deemed Private, and is a No Through lane.
Another property further down the lane erected a fence parallel to the lane and the height is around two meters.
But you never know if they are asked to reduce the height!
I am trying to find out as I need to put up new fencing right around the front garden boundary.
I am responsible for boundary fence between the two properties.
I'll be constructing my own fencing - it will be sturdy New England style white picket fencing with
chunky posts and so on.
This is the heights I'd like to go to;
The fence between both properties: 1.75m
The rest of the fencing (three sides) that includes the fence running parallel to the lane I'd like: 1.5m
Although the fence is nowhere near a public highway, the lane would be classed as a public highway if a
road traffic accident occurred, so would 1.5m high be okay?
Likewise with party fence could I get away with 1.75m
If not, what heights would you recommend for party fence and fence that fronts the lane?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Stephen
