As it is, she'll be
putting in 6' larchlap panels and then perhaps putting trellis on top
of that. Wouldn't the deeds usually show any such restrictions, if
they exist?

Yes, but you need planning approval for a fence more than 2 metres high
along a boundary with another property. The 2meteres icluses the height of
any trellis.

What are the limits you can have a Conservatory or Sun Lounge to a
neighbour's land/property? And does it matter if they own the fence? AND,
does this distance vary from Council to Council?
We are a semi and I am 'thinking' of a Sun Lounge up to my neighbour or as
close as we can. No problem with any dispute with these neighbours as we get
on very well with ALL of them, front, back and side :-)).

Apart from the pure legal requirements many people go wrong by not talking
to their neighbours before they start work. Often a mutually acceptable
solution can be found. Likewise it is well worth talking to the palnners
before making an application if you need to make one.

Corporation Planners?
Please to not make me laugh out loud. They have a small amount of power
and they are , almost without exception, ignorant tyrants. Do not upset
them or they will block you all the way .
I have had wrong information given to me by them and then, after a
costly fence construction was completed been ordered to take it down,
they even objected to the paint colour which matched that of the lower
half of the house.
My friend designed a lovely bungalow and they didn't like him either.
They blocked him so much all along the line that he had a nervous
breakdown and his house is now a bog-standard 'dump'.
Walk and speak very carefully among those arrogant Jobsworthies.
Or it will be the worse for you.
Doug.

Since you're on good terms with them, all the more reason to
jointly seek legal counsel and make sure the i's are dotted and
the t's crossed. Remember, either you or they *will* one day
sell, and the new occupant may be less flexible. That's when you
want the legal situation firmly nailed down in writing.
