Yes I am afraid they can.But surely it can be only a foot or so above if you share a fence? As long as its not on the boundary (so they cannot object to the height) you can erect/grow some sort of screen that will block their view such as 8-10ft shrubs or a pergola with climbers?

Yes, i'd plant tall shrubs there too, i'd buy established specimens that are already 6' high - it'd be worth the cost !

thow theres generaly rules on how high you can have afence as such which is around 78" . the good thing is you can have trelliss as tall as you want and get some nice climbers on there .

Hi and welcome to GoY. Unfortunately yes your neighbour can have decking that mean hen standing up they can see over the hedge.
