Fencing in Ferring
Ferring sits just west of Goring and is a popular village of bungalows and detached houses, many with wide plots and open front gardens. Being so close to the sea, it is exposed to strong winds in autumn and winter.
Local tip. Ferring falls under Arun District Council for planning, rather than Worthing, if you need to check a front boundary height.
