How tall is your neighbour? 
If however you're talking about from a planning point of view then a general rule of thumb is you will need to apply for planning permission if the wall/fence is more than 1m that fronts a highway or 2m elsewhere. There are many other factors that would also determine if you can and how high fences/walls can be so from that point of view, it would be best to check with your planning department.

haha. not that tall at all. but be nice to have our garden with out them looking in. its at the back. and there windows look right in to it. beacuse they got a new extion that comes out like a L shape. i think a 2 meter would easly do the job. but thanks for the advice we will ask pd for advice.
