Front boundary

I’ll try explain best I can

The hedge that goes down the front/side & back garden has just been taken down between our 2 properties
This happened because next door is having extension and accidentally knocked the bricks into the hedge, knackering it !
So outcome is
fencing down the side & back
from where their extension wall ends at the side
there building a 6ft brick wall
we both have parking on our property then gates to the pavement
Our is like the top picture, so from where garage ends he will be putting up 6ft wall (where hedges used to be)

I can’t visually picture this

Do you have similar or seen house with high brick wall between 2 houses

thanks

If I'm understanding this correctly then he's building a high wall between your properties and this will finish where his boundary meets the pavement. Possibly then obscuring your view as you exit your driveway?

If you're saying he's building a 6ft wall between the front of your houses, are you sure you haven't misunderstood? As despite probably not being allowed, it's not something I've ever seen before and would look awful!

if you look at the top picture, from where the grey garage door is from that point it will be the brick wall to the front gates on drive
this it what he told partner and he has pp for it.
i too have never seen a 6ft brick wall between 2 properties at the front of the property ??
I can’t imagine it

Can you check online for the plans? I really can't see this being passed.

There are quite a few in London, most houses on the approach to Hammersmith bridge:

But they are large properties.

I have lived in a semi detached house with a 6ft boundary fence between the properties as you described. My house also had a garage attached, as per your picture. The 6ft boundary fence did not run the whole length of the boundary line, instead there was a much lower fence for roughly the first 20ft (as you looked at the property from the road), which allowed you to see approaching traffic and pedestrians clearly. Surely this is what is intended with your situation. If not, I would object.
