Llantwit Major fencing

Fences for an Old Town by the Sea

Llantwit Major is one of the oldest towns in the Vale, with St Illtud's Church, the Town Hall and the Square at the heart of a conservation area designated in 1970. Its older streets are lined with walls of local limestone rubble, and the town has grown outwards since with newer estates and family homes.

In the old town, we leave the stone walls as they are and fence behind or alongside them where a taller screen is needed. On the newer estates the jobs are more familiar: replacing worn-out panels between back gardens, putting up a smarter side return, or swapping timber for composite so it never needs treating again.

Being so close to the coast, gardens here can be breezy, so we favour concrete posts and gravel boards that will not rot or work loose.

Stone walls

Working Alongside Traditional Walls

The council's appraisal of the Llantwit Major Conservation Area describes many of its boundaries as local limestone rubble walls, and the Vale of Glamorgan Council will resist proposals to remove or significantly alter them. It has also used an Article 4 direction in the town to control changes to boundary walls, gates and fences facing the road.

So if your garden has an old wall, we will usually suggest keeping it and adding a fence or trellis behind it rather than taking it down. Anything facing the road in the conservation area is worth checking with the council first.

Planning

Fences, Walls and Permission in Llantwit Major

Height

In Wales, a fence, wall or gate up to 2 metres high usually needs no planning permission, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath.

Conservation area

The old town has been a conservation area since 1970. Taking down or altering a traditional stone wall there may need consent, and the council will want any repairs to match.

Who to ask

Llantwit Major comes under the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Check with their planning team if your home is listed or an Article 4 direction applies.

Replacing an existing fence like for like, at the same height, rarely needs an application.

FAQs

Llantwit Major Fencing FAQs

Do you cover Llantwit Major?

Yes. We fit fences, gates and decking throughout Llantwit Major, CF61, and the villages around it. Call 029 2271 5157 to check your street.

I have an old stone wall. Can you add more privacy?

Usually, yes. A fence or trellis set behind the wall raises the screen without touching the stonework. In the conservation area, check with the council if the wall faces the road.

Is composite fencing worth it near the coast?

It suits breezy, damp gardens well because it will not rot, warp or need treating. It costs more than timber up front, so we are happy to price both.

Do you build decking?

Yes. Raised, ground-level and composite decks, including decks that run down the side of the house to the back door.

Do I need planning permission for a new fence?

Not usually under 2 metres, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. Listed buildings, conservation-area walls and Article 4 directions are the exceptions to check.

Will you take the old fence away?

Yes. Removal and disposal are included in the price.
