Hi

If possible, build a meter high wall on your side, 2 brick deep and incorporate the fencing/concerte posts into that and buy so-called wind resistant fencncing

This is the way to go. A wall for the bottom part. As an alternative to the fencing posts, you could have brick piers at intervals, then run a normal close boarded fence in the gaps.

Won't be cheap though.

One drawback k to that route. You fall into party wall territory so will need to factor in the cost of surveyors as well.

It will also depend on what PP covers. A wall may not have been part of the plan. One third being brick instead of wood is a substantial deviation from that approved.

But a 2m wall doesn't need planning permission.

Build a 2m wall, then get/renew your planning permission for another 1m fence attached to the wall or a 2m fence with 1m overlap.

If your neighbours are friendly they might not care about a party wall surveyor

May not need pp but will need party wall process unless you are planning on not putting footings in whiich was the point I was making.

I can't see any way you'll get 3m above ground posts with only 60cm in the ground, probably closer to a meter needed for wood. Maybe a steel option.

How is the ground currently separated? Does it need to be retaining? Wood will rot quickly if next to mud for instance.

As others have said, it sounds like a big chunk of this needs to be block.

Only if the foundations cross the boundary or the wall is on or touching the boundary.
Build it far enough back on your own land and you shouldn't need a PWN

I have used concrete grandfathers on my fence. These are at least 60cm in the ground with 1.8m posts attached to them.

Along the rear of my garden is a railway embankment with tracks some 5-10m below. The garden is raised over 1m at this point and has gabion baskets retaining the garden and a retaining wall (more for belt and braces!) that my fencing is attached to.

For the fencing here I built 2 brick/block piers with a gap in the middle, set my grandfathers, shuttered off the front and filled with concrete. The total height of the wall and fence exceeds 3m and hasn't gone anywhere for well over a year.

It's not a party wall, it's a boundary wall.

A party wall and the Party Wall Act only apply if the neighbour has their building on the other side sharing the wall.

You're starting from the wrong place thinking of fencing. You need a groundworks contractor to dig a trench, shutter the downhill (your) side to match the height of next door's side, fill it with concrete, and then put your fence or wall on top.

Sounds a lot, but if you can get a mini-digger in for the trench and there's access for a concrete lorry close to the trench it's not a difficult job. Once done properly it'll last for decades.

But you will have some giant weeds that will become a real pain in the @rse

nop, I have them planted in my other non-uk property, the weeds dont get enough sun under them to even grow there. I only have wood-fence in UK as well because of lack of land here..
If I would have enough of free land I would have a forrest of them around me instead of an ugly tatty crap wood fence. + they are green all-year long and block out any dust/sound that comes from the street.
but the biggest positive thing is- you don't have a damn ugly fence as everyone got here :rotfl:
