I've done a bit of a search but need help with understanding what is the maximum fence height between back gardens next to house? Houses are joined.
My council planning department is closed already!
Current neighbours fence is 6ft including concrete base! So fence is 5ft and base is 1ft
I can't be sure but it looks like the new fence panels not yet installed are a lot taller.
My garden is slightly lower so 6ft seems more than enough.
But if they add decking which looks possible then will I lose privacy as it will be raised!!
Although a lot of material has already been removed from there old patio!
Worried about light loss to house as fence is only just over 1m from window!
What is maximum height?
Is the height including the concrete fence base?
Is the height measured from my garden being a bit lower, or neighbours side which is a bit higher?
Do they need planning to raise height of fence, or depending how long fence has been there (forever) etc in my case!
Thanx for any info.
