About Fencing in Ipswich
Ipswich has a strong claim to being the oldest continuously occupied town in England, founded as the Anglo Saxon trading settlement of Gipeswic in the early eighth century and serving the royal house buried nearby at Sutton Hoo. The town grew into Suffolk's county town and a major port on the River Orwell, and it still trades extensively with the Ipswich ware pottery once produced here shaping archaeology across eastern England.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Ipswich?

Does Ipswich's weather affect fencing choices?
Ipswich has a fairly typical East Anglian 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 Ipswich?
Suffolk 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.
