| From the Metropolitan Police website If you are considering erecting barbed wire or other such fence topping, it must comply with Section 164 of the Highways Act 1980. The general rule to be applied is to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to prevent injury. It must not overhang and must incline inwards. You may need planning permission for fences, wall and gates over 1metre high where they are adjacent to a highway or 2 metres high elsewhere. Check with your local planning office. If you live in a conservation area check if there are any other restrictions which apply. |
