Hi Andrew, You can squeeze 6ft 6'' fence height between you and your neighbour, The height of fences is a matter of planning policy. To find out what is allowed in your area contact the local authority planning office. As a general rule, fences in rear gardens are allowed to be up to 2 metres high. Charles
