NEW FENCE ERECTED BY NEIGHBOUR

Hi everyone, My neighbour pushed a note through my door at 23:30 on a Sunday night telling me a fencer was starting work the next morning. I went round there and then and told her she couldn't touch the fence to her right (my left) as it was mine in the deeds to the property. She had not told us anything about what type of fence she was proposing to have erected. We tried to compromise by saying she could take our existing fence down and replace it with her one but only if the good side panels were facing towards our garden (as they already do from build). She never bothered to reply and instead has erected a 6ft 2inch cheap horrible fence of white concrete blocks with the fencing in between. As our gardens have a very large slope from house to fence at the bottom of the garden we now stare at fencing that is 4 different levels due to the slope including one that is actually a triangle shape at the top. Although there is nothing touching nor is it attached to our wall (original one still is) there is now a gap of 6inches between the fences, this looks all the more of an eyesore as our fence is only 3ft high. What can be done and has she broken any rules? Thank you everyone.
