Adam, straight off I'd say check local planning laws on that as apart from Building Control, I think it would contravene boundary rules.
I can't think how you could make it strong enough to handle weather & stress even if sheltered.
Could you go for a green, living "fence" which would also absorb noise better ?

Hi Gary... thanks for the response .... re the living fence, that is what they have at the moment - a Russian Vine covering the pubs loo roof ... they live on the 1st floor (a shop below) and get a good view of life in the loo through sky lights in the loo roof... !!!
Something more evergreen - what about Bamboo in troughs ? Would seem trees or tall hedging would not work ?
Hmm - bamboo would be interesting... I've never bought it as high plants, but assume someone would sell it, but that could be the answer - thank you, I will suggest it and see what happens
As an example :
Or you use large planters or troughs for total control with a simple irrigation system.
Re: boundary heights as per the link above and high hedges act; there is somewhat of a grey area as generally only applies at the boundary - there are less issues if your 'solution' is away from the boundary (accepting it does use up land).
There is commentary in the high hedges act that could actually benefit your client and allow the use of a high hedge - ironic !
It is a boundary in a town centre, and view of the pub loo roof, even without the skylights are not pretty.....imo the Russian Vine is just as nasty.....there will be an update here this evening.!
Not very helpful but makes you wonder why-ever they bought a place with a view they hated so much............... surely they must have looked out the window before they bought the place! How about the good old Leylandi............... you can pick up 6' ones fairly cheaply + quick growing though I'd guess they're after a quick fix.
