[Alan Ambrose]

That's it reallly

If it's in use for your build then no, PD regs say:

 

PART 4Temporary buildings and uses

Class A – temporary buildings and structures

Permitted development

A.  The provision on land of buildings, moveable structures, works, plant or machinery required temporarily in connection with and for the duration of operations being or to be carried out on, in, under or over that land or on land adjoining that land.

Development not permitted

A.1  Development is not permitted by Class A if—

(a)the operations referred to are mining operations, or

(b)planning permission is required for those operations but is not granted or deemed to be granted.

Conditions

A.2  Development is permitted by Class A subject to the conditions that, when the operations have been carried out—

(a)any building, structure, works, plant or machinery permitted by Class A is removed, and

(b)any adjoining land on which development permitted by Class A has been carried out is, as soon as reasonably practicable, reinstated to its condition before that development was carried out.

No.

Just put it up.

And heras is OK? Would both be OK before planning is officially granted?

[joe90]

Heras is only fencing so ok and below 2m, even if next to the road you can see through it (visibility next to highway).

Sorry if you know this but just be careful not to start any work on site until you have formally claimed the CIL exemption using the right forms and got it confirmed. Its not enough just to have the planners tell you that you will be exempt, it must be claimed correctly or you can find yourself liable to pay it.

Not correct under PD. Fences (including heras) is limited to 1m high when adjacent to a highway. It isn’t that dis-similar to when people talk about adding a trellis on top of a 1m fence (adjacent to a highway) or 2m elsehwhere. The trellis forms part of the fence and it being see through is irrelevant.
