In England and Wales, you need planning permission for a fence more than 2 metres high. If it borders a road used by vehicles (whether or not a public highway) then the limit is rather lower. I think it might be 1.5 metres, but don't rely on that figure - ask the local planning office. There are further restrictions for listed buildings and properties in conservation areas - here, you will probably need planning consent for whatever you propose..

In the UK it is 6ft but hedges and trees grow much higher than that, it depends if it blocks your neighbour's light out. For some reason you're not allowed to go higher than 6ft at the front of your property so it's not worth risking it

Check with your Building inspector. If there is no regulations, a 10' high one to keep the deer out & a 4' high one to keep the rabbits out.

The legal height is 6ft any higher and you may need planning permission

manmade, generally 6ft from the external side
Hedging is down to "proportionlity and reasonable privicy" so could be 20ft if the council says its ok.
