About Fencing in Herne Bay
Herne Bay in Kent grew rapidly after London entrepreneur George Burge convinced the engineer Thomas Telford to build a pier there, with construction starting in 1831 and the first ship docking the following year. The town's clock tower, funded by a £4,000 donation from Anne Thwaites and completed in 1837, is thought to be the first freestanding, purpose built clock tower in the world and still stands 75 feet high on the seafront today. A later iron pier built in 1896 stretched nearly 3,800 feet out to sea, making it the second longest in Britain before storm damage and closures gradually reduced it.

Ground near the seafront can be sandy, while areas further inland sit on firmer chalk and London Clay suited to standard fence post footings.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Herne Bay?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Herne Bay. Canterbury City Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal properties.
Does Herne Bay'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 Herne Bay?
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.
