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 ?

Without planning consent 2M but you can go above this with a bit of
trellis or plants, if you like your neighbours and they agree then there
is no reason to not put up a fence the height you want, but no one can
object to 2M if its on your land.

My daughter lives on a hill, her garden is about a metre above her neighbour's
garden. Is the 2 metres measured above her own garden or her neighbour's garden?

Neighbours.

Who says? The hedge is completely within her garden.
My deeds state that I must keep a stock proof fence all round the
property, also that I may not use the premises as a lunatic asylum
(sic). Many may ask what am I doing here then.
