Fair enough. Tall planting at the back and sides of the garden will also provide a lot of screening and then you'll have privacy and a nice sense of enclosure in the garden as well as from inside the house.
They are pricey but pleached hornbeams (aka hedges on stilts) will give fantastic screening and are allowed to be higher than 2m as they don't count as high hedges as they're not evergreen. They still provide screening in winter as the browned leaves stay on the trees a long time.

Its a very temporary location while we were moving some storage cabinets from a temporary living room upstairs.
The fence is to be painted, and then planning to have a planter/trellis thing against the wall to disguise the concrete fence post and also have something nice to look at.
We do feel like we need a curtain though for the bifold, with it drawing towards the right. Less for stopping light or preventing heat loss, but more for privacy. We're in an area with 3 storey townhouses and a couple of flat blocks, so they can see right the way in.
