About Fencing in North Shields
North Shields sits at the mouth of the River Tyne, its fish quay still a working part of the town and one of the largest in England, a reminder of the maritime trade that shaped the area for centuries. The town centre climbs up from the riverside, mixing older streets close to the water with more recent development further up the hill.

Types of Materials found in North Shields
North Shields sits at the mouth of the Tyne, where the underlying Coal Measures bedrock meets glacial boulder clay typical of the wider North Tyneside coast. Ground closer to the river and fish quay can include historically made up land linked to the town's long maritime and industrial use, while higher ground away from the immediate riverside generally sits on more typical clay dominant conditions, holding water and draining slowly after sustained rain.

Is the ground in North Shields suitable for fence posts?
Ground near the fish quay and riverside can include historically made up land from the town's maritime and industrial past, while higher ground further from the river generally sits on more typical boulder clay.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in North Shields?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in North Shields. North Tyneside Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near the fish quay conservation area.
Does North Shields' coastal position affect fencing?
Being at the mouth of the Tyne, North Shields properties can be exposed to strong winds and salt laden air off the North Sea, so pressure treated timber and galvanised fixings tend to last longer.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in North Shields?
North Tyneside 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.
