About Fencing in Scarborough
Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast is widely regarded as Britain's first seaside resort, its reputation founded on the seventeenth century discovery of a mineral spring that drew visitors seeking its healing waters, later developed with grand parks, gardens and the Esplanade during the Victorian era. Scarborough Castle, built by Henry II on a headland already used by Romans, Saxons and Vikings, has overlooked the town's two bays for nearly nine hundred years.

Types of Materials found in Scarborough
Scarborough sits on Jurassic sandstone and limestone bedrock typical of the North Yorkshire coast, generally giving firm ground for fence post footings on higher parts of the town. Coastal properties should account for salt laden air, which can shorten the lifespan of untreated timber, while inland areas tend to have better shelter.

Is the ground in Scarborough suitable for fence posts?
Scarborough sits mainly on firm Jurassic sandstone and limestone, though coastal properties benefit from timber treated for salt exposure given the sea air.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Scarborough?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Scarborough. North Yorkshire Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Scarborough's weather affect fencing choices?
Scarborough's coastal, salt laden air can accelerate wear on untreated timber, so a good quality preservative treatment is recommended for fencing near the seafront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Scarborough?
North Yorkshire 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.
