About Fencing in Wallsend
Wallsend takes its name directly from its position at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall, where the fort of Segedunum once stood guarding the point where the wall met the River Tyne. Today it is the most excavated fort along the entire wall, with a viewing tower giving visitors a clear view down onto the excavated remains alongside a reconstructed Roman bathhouse. The town itself grew through shipbuilding on the Tyne, and remains a mostly residential part of North Tyneside today.

Types of Materials found in Wallsend
Wallsend sits on the north bank of the Tyne, where glacial sands and gravels deposited along the valley floor meet the wider boulder clay found across much of North Tyneside. Ground closer to the river can be softer, with alluvial deposits and, given the town's shipbuilding history, some historically made up land near the former yards. Away from the immediate riverside, most residential ground reverts to the more typical clay dominant conditions found across the wider region, holding water and draining slowly after sustained rain.

Is the ground in Wallsend suitable for fence posts?
Ground closer to the Tyne can be softer, with alluvial deposits and some historically made up land linked to the town's shipbuilding past. Areas further from the river generally sit on more typical boulder clay.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Wallsend?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Wallsend. North Tyneside Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near the Segedunum fort site.
Does Wallsend's position on the Tyne affect fencing?
Properties closer to the river can be more exposed to wind funnelled along the Tyne valley, so pressure treated timber and solidly set posts generally perform well here.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Wallsend?
North Tyneside 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.
