Fencing and gates in Great Wyrley

Before your fence or gate in Great Wyrley

Before replacing a boundary fence in Great Wyrley, confirm who owns it — your deeds often show this — and agree the line with your neighbour. Planning permission from South Staffordshire Council is only needed above 2 m, or above 1 m beside a road.

Driveway gates should open inwards, not out over the pavement.
Elsewhere in the garden, fences and gates can be up to 2 m high under permitted development.
Adding trellis on top? Treat it as part of the fence height when checking the limits.

Which option fits your home?

Panel fencing

Pre-made timber panels, usually 1.83 m wide, slotted between posts. Lap, overlap and slatted panels are quick to fit and the most affordable option. They suit sheltered gardens best. In exposed spots, lightweight panels can rattle or blow out, so heavier panels or closeboard are a better choice there.

Slatted and composite fencing

Horizontal slatted timber gives a modern look and lets some air and light through, which suits contemporary gardens. Composite fencing, made from wood fibre and plastic, doesn't need painting or treating and won't rot. Both cost more than standard fences, and composite systems have their own posts and fixings.

Fencing and gates in Great Wyrley: common questions

What should I do before the fence goes up?

Clear plants, pots and sheds back from the boundary by about a metre if you can, and lift anything you want to keep. Talk to your neighbour about access and the work. If you know where drains, cables or pipes run near the boundary, tell us at survey.

Do you cover Great Wyrley?

Yes. Great Wyrley (WS6) is about 10 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

Do I need to tell my neighbour about a new fence?

It's not usually a legal requirement for a fence on your own land, but it's good practice and avoids disputes. If the fence is shared or ownership is unclear, agree the work in writing first. We may need access to their side for a short time, so a quick conversation before we start helps.

Will I need permission from the council in Great Wyrley?

Not for a fence or gate up to 2 m high, or 1 m beside a road used by vehicles. Above those heights, or around a listed building, check with South Staffordshire Council.
