About Fencing in Christchurch
Christchurch in Dorset is home to one of the longest parish churches in England, Christchurch Priory, begun around 1094 on the site of an earlier Saxon priory by Ralph Flambard, who later went on to start work on Durham Cathedral. Its builders used Purbeck limestone from Swanage alongside ironstone drawn from nearby Hengistbury Head, a headland that had already served as an important Iron Age trading centre and later a small Roman settlement possibly known as Dunium, connecting the two historic sites both geographically and through the very stones used to build the priory.

Is the ground in Christchurch suitable for fence posts?
Ground near the harbour and rivers can be sandy or alluvial, so deeper footings or extra postcrete are sometimes recommended for stability.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Christchurch?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Christchurch. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal properties.
Does Christchurch's coastal weather affect fencing choices?
Salt laden coastal air can accelerate corrosion of metal fittings, so galvanised or stainless steel fixings and well treated timber are recommended near the harbour.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Christchurch?
BCP 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.
