Planning Application for a Driveway
You will be required to submit a full planning application for a driveway. Your Planning office will then consult your local transport and highways department to consider your application. You will require scaled architectural drawings to accompany a full planning application.
Planning Application for a Fence
You will need to apply for planning permission if you wish to erect or add to a fence, wall or gate and:
-
it would be over 1 metre high and next to a highway used by vehicles (or the footpath of such a highway); or over 2 metres high elsewhere; or
-
your right to put up or alter fences, walls and gates is removed by an article 4 direction or a planning condition; or
-
your house is a listed building or in the curtilage of a listed building.
-
the fence, wall or gate, or any other boundary involved, forms a boundary with a neighbouring listed building or its curtilage.
You will not need to apply for planning permission to take down a fence, wall,or gate, or to alter, maintain or improve an existing fence, wall or gate (no matter how high) if you don't increase its height.
