This is a very common question which has been answered in a previous post but to answer your question - the automation of the gates does not require planning permission however, if the gate is in addition to existing fencing which is over 1 metre high then planning permission may be required. In such situations it is always advisable to contact your Local Authority for further advice.

Can I convert my existing gates to automatic gates?

It is possible that your current gates can be converted to automatic gates but always ask for a site visit by a reputable installer to have a full assessment carried out. Your current gates will need to be able to withstand the automation system and a professional installer will be able to provide you with all options available to you.
