Regulations to know
- Same planning limits as fences: 2m maximum, 1m beside a highway, without permission
- Walls near trees or on clay need proper foundations — this is where they fail
- A shared boundary wall is Party Wall Act territory
Tips from the trade
- The foundation is the wall — most leaning walls had cheap footings
- Copings shed water; skip them and the wall ages a decade early
