Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
Usually not. In England you can normally put up a fence up to 2 metres high without planning permission, or up to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some new-build estates have their own rules, so if any of those apply, check with your council first. We're happy to talk it through on the site visit.
Which fence is mine, left or right?
There's no fixed rule. Your title deeds or the Land Registry plan normally show which boundaries you're responsible for, often marked with a T. If it's unclear, it's worth agreeing it with your neighbour before any work starts.
