About Fencing in Peterborough
Peterborough grew around an abbey founded in 655 AD at what was then called Medeshamstede, largely destroyed by Viking raiders in 870 before being rebuilt, and its cathedral, begun in 1118 and consecrated in 1238, is built from honey coloured Barnack stone quarried nearby. The city sits on the River Nene, navigable to the North Sea, which supported its growth as a market and later industrial centre.

Types of Materials found in Peterborough
Peterborough sits on the edge of the Fens, with limestone bedrock beneath the older city centre giving way to soft, alluvial Fenland soil across much of the surrounding area. Ground on the higher, limestone based parts of the city is generally firmer, while low lying Fen edge areas can need deeper post footings due to the soft peat and clay.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Peterborough?

Does Peterborough's weather affect fencing choices?
Peterborough has a fairly dry East of England 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 Peterborough?
Peterborough City 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.
