a few weeks ago i posted about my neighbour telling me she had chased 3 lads away from my loft in the early hours. i bought a new dog, that started to jump over next doors garden, my fence was about hip height, so the complaints started.i have raised it with boards, so it is now about 8ft. this morning 2 housing officers came and said the neighbour is complaining about the fence, so i have to take it down :-/ considering it is the same neighbour telling me to put a fence up, then complain,seems odd. looks like i have a lot of awkward times ahead of me. a good side to it is 1 of the housing officers used to keep pigeons in 1995,so he asked if he could pop in through the summer to watch the birds. i have welcomed him whenever he wants,so hopefully he will start up again

Did they not tell you the maximum hieght you were allowed, I know in our area it is 2m, above that you need planning permission.

It is amazing how many ex fanciers are out there

Good luck

same here my neighbour put up a 3 meter wall, no planning, and a large babicue other side with smoke going al;l over the place, i have told him he is out of order, but as long as i get no anioance etc ok, but if i do then the council will be informed, the wall is only 3 ins thick, at that hieght it should be at leased 9 inch

most places the legal height is now 2m from the highest side.

If you lower the fence to 2m then the council or neighbour can't do anything about it.

Our previous neighbour but up an 8ft fence here to stop me talking to my partner across his garden but because his ground is higher he didn't have to do anything about it.

Fortunatly he's now moved and its suprising how strong the winds can be arround here!
