How high can fence be between houses?

[pippala]

I think a fence can be no higher than 2meters as long as it does not border a highway.
i want to refence between neighbour and our house. The houses are terraced and at the moment there is a fence from the front doors of both houses to the front alley gate to seperate the gardens.
The terraces are on a pedestrian walk way with all the gardens at the front of the houses. We would like to fence higher than the 2.5ft rameshakle fence that is there now with closeboarded fence panels to gain some privacy as there is a patio/bbq area outside the fronnt door.
We were thinking 4ft with a 2ft trellis to grow clematis up.
Would this be acceptable legally?
Nothing on the paperwork from the solicitors, we own the fence and obviously will seek approval from the neighbour.

That should be acceptable by local planning dept, call them as they are great for advice and will even come out to chat if no planning approval needed.

Many thanks

Any fence over 2 metres high (or 1 metre high if adjacent to a highway) requires planning consent.

Adding trellis would not be acceptable.
