Default Fence Height

I was looking to plant some climbers to help add some height to a fence, the
fence itself is around 6 foot hight but to give it a bit more am I within my
rights to tack on a small bit of trellis to the inside of the fence to give
them something to hang on to? If it helps it's a non-shared fence i.e.
there's a footpath on the other side rather than someone else's garden.

If you want a legal answer, then any fence in such a location
over 2 metres high would require planning permission. Have a look

Your ultimate decision on how to proceed will no doubt be
influenced by how likely you think it is that anybody would
notice and complain.
