It is 6'6" limit on garden fences without PLANNING PERMISSION. As long as no highways used for cars is within a certain distance.
So it isn't limited really to 6'6", you just need planning the same as extensions etc.
Interestingly using the rules below you can have a very tall gazebo etc next to your boundary.
Stolen from an expert;
The web-site shown below sets out the permitted development rights for a building within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse. Consider that curtilage means garden which is probably the easiest way to describe that word.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1995 ... ule/2/made
Look at Part 1 Class E.
Within 2 metres of a boundary the height is restricted to 2.5 metres.
The 4 metre height for a pitched roof structure can only be when the building is more than 2 metres from the boundary.
No more than 50% of the curtilage can be covered by buildings, but that includes front side and back gardens to calculate total area.
Building regulations are applicable when a building exceeds 30 sq. metres.
