Try checking your state's statutes. In Wisconsin there is a whole
chapter on
the law books about boundary fencing - what type of fence is allowed, who
maintains which portion of the fence, etc., etc. It probably varies from
state to state.

What makes this complicated is that the OP is posting from the U.K.

Since there are fence designs that look good on both sides, it really
shouldn't be an issue unless there is some other factor (grudge match,
pay-back, spite, etc.) that is driving the decision. I have heard of
situations where a neighbor will contribute to the project to up-grade the
fence to something mutually pleasing. I think it is a mistake to frame the
issues as being limited to putting in a fence that only looks good on one
side and having to make a choice who get to look at the pretty side.
