About Fencing in Plymouth
Plymouth in Devon has long been associated with Sir Francis Drake, who is said to have been playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe in July 1588 when news arrived of the approaching Spanish Armada, which he went on to help defeat. The city is equally famous as the departure point of the Mayflower, which left Plymouth in September 1620 carrying around one hundred colonists to found a new settlement in Massachusetts, reaching Cape Cod that November.

Types of Materials found in Plymouth
Plymouth sits on Devonian limestone and slate bedrock typical of the area around Plymouth Sound, generally giving firm ground for fence post footings across much of the city. Coastal and estuary areas near the Tamar and Plym can have softer, low lying ground, so a soil check is worthwhile there before deep post installation.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Plymouth?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Plymouth. Plymouth City Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Plymouth's weather affect fencing choices?
Plymouth's coastal, salt laden air can accelerate wear on untreated timber, so a good quality preservative treatment is recommended for fencing near the waterfront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Plymouth?
Plymouth 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.
