In the UK, garden wall height regulations dictate that walls can be built up to 2 meters high without planning permission, unless they are adjacent to a highway, where the limit is reduced to 1 meter. This variance in permitted height depending on location is critical for homeowners to consider when planning their garden walls, as exceeding these limits can lead to disputes with neighbors or require additional permissions. Understanding these rules allows for better planning and design of garden boundaries, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
"Under Permitted Development Rights in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, you can generally build a wall without planning permission as long as it’s no higher than 2m overall."
"Walls fronting a road or highway are treated differently, which means there is a 1m height limit applied to anything next to a road, pavement, or other highway."
