To clarify, my screen is fixed to the fence he erected on my side of

the
boundary when he replaced my old fence.

Simple, tell him to remove his fence from your land, pronto, then

build what
you want in its place.

Look!. Let's go back to basics.
Before anything else you have to define exactly your borderline. That
is, the borderline between yours and the neighbour's house. Then you
can
put on your side what you like within the local height laws. If it's a
fence, then quite simply the fence 'facing' or the 'support' posts
whichever you choose to have facing the other side must not be over the
borderline.
Everything of yours must be on your side of that borderline. No part of
your fence can be over or beyond that borderline.
Work out that borderline and you've cracked it.
If his fence has any part of it over that borderline and is on your side
then you can
politely and in friendly manner point it out to him, by letter if he
gets fractious, then if you have to take action you can say that you
have followed, but exhausted the normal conciliatory routes without
reaching an acceptable conclusion..
