Flat, open land and new neighbourhoods
Because Cambridge sits on the edge of the Fens, wind can sweep across open land with little to slow it down. Homes on the city edge, particularly those backing onto fields or guided busway paths, need well-set posts and sturdy panels.
In the new developments, gardens are often small and overlooked, and homeowners frequently want to upgrade the basic developer fence to something more private and attractive – such as slatted or tongue-and-groove panels.
Cambridge is flat, green and growing fast. Alongside the Victorian terraces around Mill Road and Romsey Town, new neighbourhoods like Trumpington Meadows, Eddington and Great Kneighton have added thousands of homes with compact modern gardens.

Before you build: the rules in England
You won't normally need planning permission in England for a fence of up to 2 metres, or 1 metre alongside a road used by vehicles, unless the property is listed or permitted development rights have been removed. More on fence height and boundaries.

Questions about fencing in Cambridge
Can I replace the fence on my new-build in Cambridge?
Usually, yes, but check your property's covenants first. Some developments specify fence styles or heights, particularly on boundaries that face the street.
Is slatted fencing suitable for windy locations?
Yes. Slatted and hit-and-miss fencing lets some wind through, which reduces the load on the posts compared with a solid panel.
