We have a very tall (over 10 feet) Leylandii hedge around two sides of
our back garden. I hate it and would like to it replace with a high
fence where we could then grow fruit trees etc alongside it. Can anyone
tell me what the tallest legal height is that one can have re a garden
fence in England ?

Close-boarded high fences offer more wind resistance than any hedge so
are more likely to fall/blow over/take off in gales; more potential
risk to third parties.

Good point! I'm thinking now of having the present hedge cut down to
around 7 feet.
