About Fencing in Dover
Dover in Kent owes its famous white cliffs to a catastrophic flood hundreds of thousands of years ago that swept away the chalk ridge once connecting Britain to Calais, carving the cliffs and starting the island's separation from the continent. Dover Castle, whose oldest structures date to the 11th century, was built up during the reign of Henry II and still contains one of the oldest standing buildings in Britain, a Roman lighthouse that is one of only three of its kind surviving anywhere in the world. Tunnels beneath the castle, some dug in medieval times and others during the Napoleonic Wars, later played a vital role in the Second World War, serving as a command centre for the Dunkirk evacuation of 1940.

Is the ground in Dover suitable for fence posts?
Dover sits on chalk cliffs, generally firm, though ground near the harbour can be sandier and benefit from deeper footings.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Dover?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Dover. Dover District Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal or listed properties.
Does Dover'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 seafront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Dover?
Kent 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.
