I'd like to replace a two panel fence separating two driveways between two bungalows.
The front doors to the bungalows face each other as they're both on the sides of the houses, and they both have offices on the same wall facing each other, and garages that cross the drives and connect.
The neighbour put up a ring security camera and security light, and due to the confined space it's pretty much impossible for them not to capture us walking up the drive to our front door.
I've got nothing against security cameras, I have both ring and nest myself, but my relative who lives in the bungalow doesn't like the idea of being captured on a neighbours camera when coming and going. We just want privacy.
Plus, due to the way the ring works, I think even though they may have set motion zones to their drive only, our approach still triggers the motion detection for the security light aspect.
I'd like to replace the two panels and increase their height to approx 2.3m, which would be just below the garage soffit, and would mean both houses could have security cameras and lights without disturbing the other party.
I asked the neighbour about this and it ended up in a heated argument when he said he didn't want to look at a tall fence from the office (as opposed to looking directly into our office window, at our front door and our wall??)
He doesn't want me to put anything up taller than the standard 2m, which doesn't really solve the security camera problem.
So, anyone know what the process is like when applying for increased fence height and the likelihood of getting it in this situation?
Does someone come out and look or do they just judge by information/photos/drawings provided?
Does notice get sent to the neighbour?
Just not sure if it's worth the hassle for long term neighbour relations or not.
