About Fencing in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne grew from a Roman fort at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall into one of England's great industrial cities, its skyline still defined by the dramatic bridges that cross the Tyne between Newcastle and Gateshead. The city centre mixes Victorian grandeur along Grey Street with more recent developments around the Quayside, and the wider city spreads through very different neighbourhoods, from dense inner terraces to leafier suburbs.

Types of Materials found in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle sits where the underlying Coal Measures bedrock of sandstone, shale and coal, extensively mined through the city's industrial history, meets the Tyne valley itself. Much of the city's residential ground is glacial boulder clay, common across the wider North East, holding water and draining slowly after sustained rain. Closer to the river, glacial sands and gravels are found along the valley floor, while the eastern hills of neighbouring Gateshead sit on predominantly sandstone bedrock. Given the scale of historic coal mining beneath the city, some areas can have ground affected by old workings at depth, generally well below the level relevant to standard fence post footings.

Is the ground in Newcastle suitable for fence posts?
Most of Newcastle sits on glacial boulder clay over Coal Measures bedrock, holding water and draining slowly. Old coal workings beneath the city generally sit well below the depth relevant to standard fence post footings.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Newcastle?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Newcastle. Newcastle City Council can confirm any extra rules for properties in conservation areas.
Does Newcastle's weather affect fencing choices?
Newcastle sees cooler, wetter weather than southern England, with exposed riverside and hillside sites more prone to wind, so pressure treated timber and solidly concreted posts are a sensible choice.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Newcastle?
Newcastle City Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
