No, you don't, but check your bounderies first, you don't want a legal battle with you neighbous, better yet, if your on good terms with them, speak to them first.

In general, you wouldn't need planning permission for a fence this size, however, some properties (especially new developments) may have restricted covenants in place that dictate the height and type of fence that you may put up (or even if you can put one up at all). Some even dictate as to which colours you are allowed to paint your own front door.

If you live in a newer property, it may be worth checking, especially if everyone else's garden seems to be left 'open plan'.
