Fencing on highway boundary

We have a pub on a narrow lane that has recently closed. It is thought that a fence may now be erected along the pub frontage. A few questions really.
1, if the erection of a new fence is put up, can it be erected right on the edge of the highway, if only 1 metre in height or does it need to be a certain distance back from the boundary of the highway?
2, if the erection of any fence, irrespective of height creates a restriction on traffic flow, as its always been used as a passing place by vehicles for many years, will this become a highways or planning issue?
I'm really looking for something in the highways act of 1980 that states that if the erection of a fence on a highway causes or could cause a problem with traffic flow that it would require planning permission. I believe it's in there somewhere but finding it is the problem.
