.although since the planned and permission-sought edifice will tower over
my garden it may not be OT at all....


Yeah, it's amazing that you can't have a conifer hedge higher than 6 feet,
but it's perfectly okay to erect buildings, such as in my case a garage
directly on the fence line at one side, and a 2 storey extension a couple of
feet from the fence on the other side - both objected to but approved
anyway.
