Struggling with planning permission so thought I'd post on a few forums for any advice. I'm currently renovating my 1970s semi-detached house and looking to install an electric gate and castled brick wall to house it, providing a secure perimeter. I'm filling out a form on the planning portal but cannot seem to identify what it falls under. Namely householder planning, full planning, outline planning, prior approval etc but none of the sub-categories seem to mention gates/perimiter/fencing etc.
What currently sits at the front of the house is a one foot tall wall housing a hedge, with the new wall being just over five and a half foot at the highest points (castled sections). The electric gate would be fitted on the backside of the brick pillars, leaving a foot or two space.
Has anyone fitted an electric gate and supporting wall to their homes and have any advice? I don't live in a conversation area but most of the houses have no or little fences/gates on my street. Very open plan, however my semi-detached neighbour has a seven foot+ hedge adjoining my five foot hedge. I have a driveway that is double width of a regular semi-detached house (that's being brick paved if anyone has any advise with that) so provides enough space for me to warrant an electric gate.
