About Fencing in Cambridge
Cambridge grew around a university founded in 1209 by scholars who left Oxford after disputes with local townsfolk, later granted a royal charter by Henry III in 1231. Its first college, Peterhouse, was founded in 1284, and the city's skyline has since grown to include more than thirty colleges, from medieval foundations like Clare and Pembroke to Henry VIII's Trinity College, founded in 1546 and still the largest today.

Types of Materials found in Cambridge
Cambridge sits on chalk bedrock overlaid with river terrace gravel typical of the Cam valley, generally giving firm ground for fence post footings across most of the city. Areas closer to the River Cam and its water meadows can have softer alluvial ground, so a soil check is worthwhile there before deep post installation.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Cambridge?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Cambridge. Cambridge City Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Cambridge's weather affect fencing choices?
Cambridge has a fairly dry East of England climate, lower rainfall than much of the country, so standard pressure treated timber and solidly concreted posts generally perform well.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Cambridge?
Cambridgeshire County Council operates household waste recycling centres in the area that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
