What the council publishes for Wrenbury

This is what the council's pages say about the village and the area around it. The Wrenbury conservation area was designated in 1973 [S8]. The table shows no appraisal [S8]. The village is not on the council's Article 4(2) list [S9]. For planning questions about Wrenbury, the council's number is 0300 123 5014 [S10].

The built heritage team can be reached on 0300 123 5014 [S8].

Fence height limits and planning permission

If your fence in Wrenbury 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]. An existing fence that is already taller may be able to stay [S1].

The wording behind these limits is Class A of the General Permitted Development Order [S2]. For a listed building in Wrenbury, 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.

Hedges are not treated as fences under these rules [S1]. If a house in Wrenbury is in a conservation area, taking a fence down can need permission [S1]. These rights can be removed by an Article 4 direction [S1]. A condition on an earlier planning permission can do the same. If you are not sure which of these applies to your house in Wrenbury, ask the council.

Check the boundary before work starts

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 Wrenbury, speak to your neighbour. Timber fences are not included in the party wall description of a garden wall [S7]. For a fence in Wrenbury, the party wall rules are separate from planning permission [S7].

Written quotes and the checks to make

For any fence quote in Wrenbury, these checks apply:

  • Confirm your council with the GOV.UK finder [S6].
  • Check insurance yourself [S4].
  • Ask before a visit whether quoting costs anything [S4].
  • A much lower quote needs an explanation [S4].
  • If old panels are removed, check the waste carrier register [S5].
  • Get every quote in writing [S4].
  • Make sure VAT is stated [S4].
  • Try to get at least three quotes [S4].

Frequently asked questions

Does QuoteZila check the businesses?

No. We don't check insurance, qualifications or registrations, so please check these yourself before you hire. You can report a quote or a business from your job page.

Does a Wrenbury fence need planning permission?

Beside a road used by vehicles, a fence can usually go up to one metre without permission. Elsewhere it is two metres. Listed curtilage is outside Class A. If a house in Wrenbury is in a conservation area, taking a fence down can need permission. Ask the council if you are not sure.

What should a Wrenbury fence quote include?

The quote should say which boundary is priced. Check it gives the height and the posts. Make sure it says if VAT is included. If old panels are taken away from your Wrenbury garden, check the waste carrier register.

Who owns a Wrenbury boundary fence?

Often nobody has a record. Title plans show general boundaries. Talk to the neighbour before any work on a Wrenbury boundary. A covenant can require a fence. Timber fences are outside the party wall description.

How many Wrenbury fence quotes are sensible?

At least three is sensible. Ask for them in writing. A much lower quote needs an explanation. Check the insurance of any trader you might hire in Wrenbury. Ask first whether a quote costs anything.

What does Profile reviewed mean for Wrenbury?

The Profile reviewed label is not a check. Checking insurance and qualifications is still up to you. You can report a quote or a business from your job page if something looks wrong.

The main fencing page covers the trade beyond Wrenbury. Other town pages include fence installers in Crewe and fence installers in Handforth.

The services page lists every trade, and the county page covers the wider area. A tree on the line is separate, and tree surgeons cover that. If the boundary is a wall rather than a fence, it may be a job for builders.
