Do I need planning permission for a pergola?
In most cases, our pergolas fall under Permitted Development Rights and do not require planning permission. However, if you live in a listed building, conservation area, or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we recommend checking with your local authority.
How high can a pergola be without planning permission?
If within 2 metres of a boundary, your pergola should not exceed 2.5 metres in height. Beyond this, you can install a pergola up to 3 metres high without planning permission.
Are there restrictions on where I can install my pergola?
Pergolas should not be placed at the front of a house facing a public road and must not cover more than 50% of your garden area.
