Gay and happyPaul Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 The Marie in my village told me that I can not legally put a pool in as my garden is to small. He said I need three meters around the pool. I have nowhere near that. But he did say that I could put it in anyway.... Should I go ahead and risk it. Also if I went ahead with it I have a high fence all the way round my garden, would I still have to put more fence up or would a alarm be ok?

Babnik Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Only you can answer this question, but Maire was right, you need 3 metres from a boundary fence to any pool. I think this applies to a pool which is sunk into the ground. I'm not sure the same applies to over ground pools, so you could try that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piprob Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 That's interesting Babnik. Do you know where this particular rule is written? I'd like to take a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Don't know where you would find the rule but when we applied for planning permission a couple of years ago this was one of the changes insisted on. i.e keep it 3 metres from every boundary.The annoying thing is that the boundary wall concerned is our garden wall the pool being in a pacel of land we bought with the house. Tried to argue the point but they were having none of it.Fortunately in our case it wasn't that serious - just meant moving a bit more earth.rgdsHagar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think that this is a general planning rule. Any contruction must be either on a or 3M from a boundary.And it does not apply to wholly above-ground pools - no planning regs do, as they are considered portable. The safety regs don't apply either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Is it a recent rule? If the back of our house is 3m from the fence, it must be 3m to the millimetre, because the back fence is very close! At the side of the house there's a metre between the house wall and the pool, then the 3-metre width of the pool, then a metre between the pool and the boundary wall.The house was built early 80s, I think.

Of course, this being France, you are probably entitled to build on your neighbours paitio in St Tropez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polremy Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 we have a small garden and had a pool built some 10 years ago. all we had to do was get our neighbours' written agreement. all 3 of them. our pool fills virtually the whole garden!! have had no problems.

Gay and happyPaul Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thank you everyone. The Marie changed his mind and I have permission for the pool. I don't think the garden grew!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
