Residential property and barbed wire wall

Not sure if this is the right place, mods please move if feel needed.

I was wondering if someone can tell me if you need planning permission to put barbed wire on a back garden concrete wall of a residential property that backs on to other residential properties on all three sides of the back garden.

due to the fact that its not specifically referred to in the "exempted development" regulations, id say yes.

you can always apply for a declaration from the council as to its exempted status, see 'section 5 application'

on a side note, you are opening yourself up to a world of legal issues if you do this.

Planning needed and doubtful that a Council would grant permission.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. I ask as a neighbour put it up around their perimeter background wall a month or so ago and they definitely didn't get planning permission.
