As a general rule, you don't need planning permission for a dog run if it is for your personal use. If you are running a commercial business such as a secure dog field, or doggie daycare, you may need permission for commercial use, in this instance, it is best to seek professional advice and clarification. If you simply want a dog run for your own use, then building a dog run with our range of adaptable dog run panels should not require planning permission. If you live in a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or a listed house, it may be worth seeking specialist advice, as the planning laws can vary in these areas.
