    Another thing that needs to be considered is that a 3m wall is going to look out of place in a lot of locations, planning control won't want something that looks as though it's come from a compound in Jalalabad in a typical suburban setting.

    Your neighbours could have a lot to say about it too and unless their a good reason to raise it by 80cm - 100cm you might very well be refused.

    Oh dear. It might be fine for its current height but.........

    No, changed me mind. Carry on. On your own head be it - and it will probably will.

    another thread like this, I just don't understand the point...
    op asks for advice on something they don't know about
    op gets advice on it
    op decides that advice given isn't what they have already decided before posting the thread, ignores/questions advice given

    pointless!
