well in that case then there is still no argument as my entire house and garden are overlooking his garden anyway. its a good 5 metres lower down than my garden, it is overlooked with decking or no decking. I could easily remove the fence and decking and it would make absolutely no difference. I...

Well, if anyone is still interested I have informed them that there is, infact nothing for me to overlook as the fence is mine and it is entirely in my own property and it is NOT a boundary fence as there is still 2ft of my garden on their side of it. I intend to plant some trees in that 2 ft...

So, looking at this from another angle I'm under no obligation to put a fence there at all so I can inform them that I'm just going to remove the fence or make it lower. It would be extremely diffiuclt to put another fence up there, there is only a very small gap, they would have to build it on...

It's still nearly 4 feet high. I'm sorry but if you stand next to my fence all the way down the side of the garden you will be overlooking because there is so much of a slope. You wont be able to overlook the fence when I put a planting bed alongside the fence parallel to it anyway. Not...

oh of course it will have a handrail and balustrading of some sort, I just haven't finished it yet. I can't move the decking. I can't dig down any deeper on the right hand side and in order to make it lower there will just be too many steps to make it practical. I could perhaps put 1 or 2...

what do you mean? it's hardly overlooking and all I'm going to do is put a planting bed along the edge of fence parallel to it and not only will it stop you getting close enough to the fence to overlook it, it will also provide a screen of plants. I'm not being unreasonable here, considering...

See now I've found other articles stating that you may need permission if it affects the privacy of your neighbour. who decides that? the neighbour or is it solely the decision of the planning/enforcement officer? I just can't chill about this.

well thats a relief. I'm not doing **** now I WANT to overlook them, if they feel the need to go behind my back and report me without talking to me. (we were friendly and did talk).

even though I am (kinda) overlooking them? As long as I put in some form of screen there shouldn't be an issue right?

Another thing I would like to add is that most garden in this area are overlooked by the houses to our right, they are much higher than the rest of the gardens by me. This is just part and parcel of living on the side of a small valley, essentially.

Hello all, I have a bit of an issue with my neighbours and the decking I have built over the last few weeks, can anyone offer some advice? A bit of background: I moved into our house nearly a year ago, the back garden was a state and I have spent alot of time and money sorting it out. One of...
