A few posts under my belt
Hi all,
This is my first post here so really sorry if I've used an incorrect format.
I live on the Newport Road a couple of houses down from the castle, my house is set back a fair bit and I am wanting to install driveway gates at a height of about 6ft.
I know that 'next to' a highway, a fence/gate/wall can only be 1m high, but how far into my driveway must they be so that they can be higher?
I know I would require planning permission to put them 'next to' the highway at any hight above 1m and any height above 2m anywhere else. There are a fair number of houses along the road with gates higher than 1m, but I have checked online for past planning applications and have noticed that no one has submitted one, so I am guessing there is a way to have them without having to apply for PP.
I am planning on putting them about 3.5 metres up my drive, away from the 'highway' (pavement) edge, so that I am able to completely pull my car onto my drive if the gates are closed.
If anyone can help me or knows anything about what the council will say, please let me know. I have tried to email, but they're no longer accepting 'pre-planning enquiries'.
Thank you!
