About Fencing in Southampton
Southampton has been a working port for around a thousand years, and its position on the water has placed it at the centre of some of history's most significant departures, from the Mayflower, which set sail from the city on 15 August 1620 carrying the Pilgrims to Northern Virginia, to the Titanic, which left on its ill fated maiden voyage in 1912 with over 700 Southampton residents among its crew, more than 500 of whom never returned. The port grew substantially through the 19th and early 20th centuries with new dock developments including the Empress Dock in 1890 and the White Star Dock in 1910, now known as the Mayflower Terminal, and Southampton continues to serve as one of the world's busiest cruise ports today.

Is the ground in Southampton suitable for fence posts?

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Southampton?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Southampton. Southampton City Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal properties.
Does Southampton's coastal weather affect fencing choices?
Salt laden coastal air can accelerate corrosion of metal fittings, so galvanised or stainless steel fixings and well treated timber are recommended near the water.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Southampton?
Southampton 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.
