Types of Materials found in Ormskirk

Ormskirk sits on slightly raised ground at the edge of the West Lancashire coastal plain, where the land drops away towards the peat mosses and reclaimed farmland that stretch out towards Southport and the coast. This rising ground around Ormskirk is part of what historically separated the coastal sand dunes from the boggy moss land further inland. Ground in the town itself tends to be a mix of glacial drift and boulder clay, generally firmer than the low lying, peaty farmland surrounding it, though still capable of holding water after sustained rain.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Ormskirk?

Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Ormskirk. West Lancashire Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near the historic church and town centre.

Does Ormskirk's farmland setting affect fencing needs?

Being surrounded by open farmland, many Ormskirk properties border agricultural land, and stock proof fencing is a common requirement for anyone keeping animals or adjoining working farms.

Where can I dispose of old fencing in Ormskirk?

West Lancashire Council operates household waste recycling centres in the borough that accept timber and garden waste. Many Ormskirk fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the job.
