What's going on in the back garden too?
Not a lot. Despite their dog fetish, it seems the owners don't want anything that's actually alive on the premises.
Edit: Maybe it's an odd estate for odd people. I wondered about the apparently unnecessary lintel, so looked on Street View. These new builds have fake bricked-up windows as if the window tax is still operational.

My road was built 4-5 years ago. A couple of the three storey properties have this faux bricked up windows on them. Don't see the attraction of this.0 -

We have some of these being built on new builds by us, and as if they weren't odd enough, some of the faux bricked up windows also have bars. V weird indeed.0 -

Some houses round here have been built with "bricked-up" windows but they are in-fills where the old houses date back the window tax period. It looks really odd on new estate housing!0 -

North facing garden, tall house and no evening sunshine due to neighbouring similar properties....
'Fraid that, and the very steep patio in final pic, means I've written it off. Shame!

Slightly off topic - we have real bricked up windows in our Georgian house - but apparently not as a result of the window tax, but 'cos *during the war* (I sound like Uncle Albert, lol!) some American GIs drove into a bay window at the front of the house and caused part of the front elevation to drop.
When it was repaired they chose (for financial reasons I guess) to brick up three of the upper windows so now we have a rather unappealling non-symmetrical look upstairs which in time we'll have to address Grrrrrr......blooming Americans Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

In my boyhood town, the Americans caused quite a few things to drop....and I went to school with a couple of the consequences. 0
