CT11 · West Cliff
The Regency terraces along the West Cliff and West Cliff Promenade - Ramsgate at its most exposed. Sea directly to the south and east, and the wind cuts across from the North Sea most days of the year. The tightest conservation-area work in the town, and the highest spec of fencing.
The West Cliff is Regency terrace country - long uniform terraces built in the 1820s and 1830s facing the sea, protected as a Thanet DC conservation area, with Article 4 directions on some frontages that catch even permitted-development-scale changes. Front-boundary work above 1m needs Thanet DC planning consent as standard; front boundaries under Article 4 need consent regardless of height. We flag this at quote stage before quoting the work.
Rear gardens on the West Cliff are the most wind-exposed in Ramsgate. On any rear boundary here we default to concrete slotted posts, concrete gravel boards, three-rail closeboard (not two), and hot-dip galv hardware throughout. It costs a bit more than an inland spec and it's the difference between a fence that holds through the January storms and a fence you rebuild every three winters.
Front boundaries above 1m need a Thanet DC householder application. Typical turnaround is 8 to 10 weeks. Article 4 direction covers parts of the Regency frontages - if in doubt we check the LPA map before quoting. No surprises at survey.
