Angie Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Does anyone know if I need planning permission to build a wall around part of my rear garden (to about 6 feet high)? It will not be bordering anyone else's property. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-D de Rouffignac Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 You need to complete a form of 'déclaration de travaux' obtainable from your Mairie before starting work, and allow up to one month for a reply. It is advisable to consult their planning department first and taking their advice, before starting any work, ordering materials etc. You might also need to verify your precise boundary limits using a 'géometre' as any piece of (adjoining) property belongs to someone, and will figure on the 'plan cadastrale'. Hope this helps. P-D de R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The declaration de travaux has now been replaced by the "Déclaration préalable"http://www.nouveaupermisdeconstruire.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/2_Formulaire_de_declaration_prealable_cle2a6e37-1.pdfbut in any case there is no need to seek any permission for a wall in your own garden under 2 m height.If it is a boundary wall or fence, you need to fill in a declararion prealable only in zones where it is required! who made that one up?If in doubt, ask at the Mairie.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-D de Rouffignac Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just to further clarify/1. Full term = 'déclaration préalable de travaux'. Form available. 2. In a commune where there is a PLU ('plan local d'urbanisme') building a wall must be declared and may be subject to objections or restrictions (height, materials etc)3. Always wise to consult the Maririe and/or DDE first, and check boundaries. Regards, P-D de R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks to everyone for your helpful replies. Boundaries are not an issue as we own a lot of land around us, but will complete the appropriate forms and approach the Mairie prior to doing any work just to be on the safe side. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
