Villas and hills
Large Victorian villas often have garden flats where a flap may be possible with the freeholder's consent. Many homes sit on steep slopes, so the step outside the door matters for a dog flap.
Coastal weather
Homes facing the bay are exposed to wind and salt air. A corrosion-resistant flap with good seals will last longer.

Questions from homeowners in Torquay
My garden is steep. Can I still have a dog flap?
Usually. We'll set the height with the outside step in mind.
I rent. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
Who handles planning?
