Conservation areas and planning contacts in Cuddington and Sandiway

The points below come from the council's own pages. The council's list names Cuddington [S8]. Sandiway is named too [S8].

The council's householder guidance normally supports a hard boundary of up to one metre next to a road. That limit is set out in the householder SPD [S9]. Elsewhere it normally supports up to two metres. Corner plots get special consideration [S9]. Closing off an open-plan front garden is unlikely to be supported. Boundaries beside water should still allow surveillance.

Ask the council whether an Article 4 direction covers your house in Cuddington and Sandiway [S10]. The conservation page publishes an email address for questions [S8].

When a new fence needs planning permission

If your fence in Cuddington and Sandiway runs beside a road used by vehicles, the limit without planning permission is usually one metre [S1]. Away from the road, the limit is two metres [S1]. If the old fence is already taller, it may be able to stay [S1].

These rights come from Class A, which is part of the General Permitted Development Order [S2]. For a listed building in Cuddington and Sandiway, a fence within the curtilage falls outside Class A. For a school, a fence by the road may reach two metres [S2]. Even then, the part above one metre must not block the view.

If a house in Cuddington and Sandiway is in a conservation area, taking a fence down can need permission [S1]. A hedge is not treated as a fence here [S1]. An Article 4 direction can remove these rights for a house in Cuddington and Sandiway [S1]. A planning condition can remove them too. When in doubt about your own house, ask the council before work starts.

Who owns a boundary fence is often not recorded

There is usually no record of who owns a boundary fence [S3]. A title plan usually shows only the general boundary [S3]. Before work starts on a boundary in Cuddington and Sandiway, speak to your neighbour. Timber fences are not included in the party wall description of a garden wall [S7]. For a fence in Cuddington and Sandiway, the party wall rules are separate from planning permission [S7].

Ask for written quotes and compare them

A few checks make quotes for a fence in Cuddington and Sandiway easier to compare:

  • Ask first if the quote is charged [S4].

  • If old panels are removed, check the waste carrier register [S5].
  • Have each quote put in writing [S4].
  • Confirm your council with the GOV.UK finder [S6].
  • A much lower quote needs an explanation [S4].
