Fencing & Walls in Englefield Green.

Often, yes — the conservation area designation covering most of the village means boundary walls, gates and railings at the front of a property draw closer scrutiny than the standard permitted development limits alone would suggest, and can need consent even within them. We check the specific rules against your address at survey before any front boundary scheme is priced.

With the ownership line confirmed first. Park land belongs to the Crown Estate rather than the adjoining garden, so a fence or hedge along that edge is not automatically the garden owner's to alter without agreement. We establish the exact boundary at survey and keep construction entirely on the garden side of it throughout the build.

Brick or stone walls matched to the existing coursing, or traditional railings and gates where the property calls for them, generally sit far better against the historic frontages here than a contemporary alternative — and are more likely to be accepted where consent is required. We source materials to match the existing boundary wherever possible.

Yes, where the fence or wall would affect a protected tree's roots or canopy. Every tree inside the conservation area carries that protection regardless of a formal preservation order, so we identify the constraint at survey and get the notice served before construction depends on the tree being unaffected or removed.
