Fencing in Tarring
Tarring and West Tarring include some of the oldest streets in Worthing, with a conservation area around the High Street alongside more typical 20th century housing further out.
Local tip. In the conservation area, fences and gates facing the street can need permission, so check with the council before changing a front boundary.
