Many of Harrogate's larger homes have driveways and substantial frontages, so driveway gates – timber or metal, manual or automated – are a common request. Stone gateposts and walls are often part of the boundary.

Harrogate fencing FAQs

Can driveway gates be hung on stone gateposts?

Often, yes, if the posts are sound. Heavy gates may need new fixings or additional support. A contractor will assess the posts first.

Do I need permission for driveway gates in Harrogate?

Gates over 1 metre next to a road usually need planning permission, and conservation areas may have extra rules. Check with North Yorkshire Council.

Do you need planning permission for a fence in England?

Most fences in England are permitted development up to 2 metres – or 1 metre where they border a road used by vehicles. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with the council before you build. More on fence height and boundaries.
