About Fencing in Minehead
Minehead in Somerset began life as a working port trading in wool and later coal, before reinventing itself in the Victorian and Edwardian eras as a seaside resort, aided by the arrival of the railway. That transformation accelerated dramatically in 1962 when Billy Butlin opened one of his famous holiday camps at Minehead, a £2 million investment that brought mass tourism to the town, and a monorail was added to the site in 1967 to ferry visitors between attractions.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Minehead?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Minehead. Somerset Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal or listed properties.
Does Minehead'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 Minehead?
Somerset 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.
