Western Escarpment Boundaries to Properties guide
Summary
AI generated summary
Traditional boundary treatments such as native hedgerows, picket fences, post-and-rail or post-and-wire fencing, five-bar gates and chestnut paling are recommended in the Western Escarpment Conservation Area to preserve its rural character. New boundary work should be sympathetic to the landscape and avoid suburban features like close-boarded panels, tall security fences with lights, and non-native hedging such as Leylandii or laurel. Some boundary changes may need planning consent; advice is available via the Planning Portal or the New Forest National Park Planning Service. Further guidance and detailed character appraisals
