Fencing enquiries and planning advice in Wales
Learn the right questions to ask before a garden fence installation or repair. Local contractor matching is subject to availability.
Check the Wales planning rules first
Welsh Government guidance sets height conditions for fences and gates, including different thresholds near roads, and explains exceptions for listed buildings and restrictions imposed through planning conditions. Check the guidance for your own site before work.
Official source: GOV.WALES – Planning permission: fences, gates and garden walls.
Common fencing enquiry details
- Where the boundary is and whether you own it or need to speak to a neighbour
- The intended height and whether it faces a public road
- Whether the property is listed, in a conservation area or subject to a planning condition
- Fence length, ground conditions, access, and how the old fence will be removed
