What's the name of this type of fence?

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. Alan.

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.

Thanks a lot! Half an hour on google and I was non the wiser...

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

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

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.

Then the relevant documents are available on ISTR the Scottish Executive web site. They are not that easy to find though. It would 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 not found them by tomorrow I could take a look.

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!

Would really appreciate it if you could put me in their direction. Spent a good hour on the website with no luck...

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

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