"Seroxat Mad" john(at)thestottfamily(dot)co(dot)uk Junee:

just like he didnt ask permission for his summer hose to look stright into
ours - or when he made is garden level when the whole street slops

so his fence is 7.5 foot on my site but just to his chest on his and it
over looks ours even though it dont have planning permission

I finally succumbed and had a look at the sites. I like neither I'm afraid.
I prefer a more natural effect than either has gone for.

Obviously, you have a downhill slope to contend with and it looks as though
you've both resorted to terracing to a greater or lesser extent. If his
terracing is supported by your fence, then you'll have a problem a few
years down the line, but if he's up a higher part of the slope than you
are, it is inevitable that the fence will be lower on his side.

My parents have to deal the side effects of such a slope problem about twice
a year. They live next to a service station and the odd drunk will do a
runner from a taxi over the 7' wall. When they hit the bottom of the 25'
drop on the other side, they normally break an ankle or two. They've been
known to flatten whole swathes of vegetables or herbs in the process (they
writhe in agony).

Her garden looked like this at the beginning of last June
