About Fencing in Whitby
Whitby on the Yorkshire coast grew around an abbey founded in 657 AD, destroyed by Viking raiders in 867 who renamed the settlement using the Old Norse for white settlement, with its ruins later inspiring Bram Stoker to set part of Dracula in the town after he stayed there in 1890. Whitby is also famous as the place where Captain Cook learned seafaring aboard local coal ships, and for jet, a fossilised wood still found and worked here today.

Types of Materials found in Whitby
Whitby sits on Jurassic shale and sandstone bedrock typical of the North York Moors coast, historically the source of the town's famous jet. Ground on the steep valley sides can be uneven, while the harbourside area close to the River Esk has softer, low lying ground, so local knowledge helps when planning fence post footings.

Is the ground in Whitby suitable for fence posts?
Whitby's steep valley sides can have uneven ground, while the harbourside near the River Esk is lower lying, so local knowledge is useful when planning fence post footings.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Whitby?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Whitby. North Yorkshire Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties, particularly on steep sites.
Does Whitby's weather affect fencing choices?
Whitby's coastal, salt laden air can accelerate wear on untreated timber, so a good quality preservative treatment is recommended for fencing near the harbour.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Whitby?
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.
