Sloped Back Garden with Fence.

Hi, I recently bought a 2 bed maisonette with seperate garden which is not looked after from previous seller. The wooden fences are rotted and damaged. The concerning fence section is inverted 'L' shape where the back fence alone is 6ft high and sitting on raised ground. The straight section has half way raised plant bed with fence in line with back fence height. The other half did not have any fence with normal ground level. I would like to level the ground and fully erect fence on straight section. Doing so, if the total fence height is over 2m, am i in danger of breaching rules of maximum 2m height? Also, for back fence, i want to clear the ground below and build brick wall upto same height and install new fence coming in line with previous height. Originally i was thinking to clear all the ground to soil level including back and install a 6ft fence but was told that soil neighbouring garden would damage the back fence as their ground level is in line with my base of fence. So, i went with idea of brick wall and 6ft fence which brings me to straight section of fence when i install it from ground level it will be over 2m. I donot like to keep any sleepers either back or straight section as in 1yr time planning for a gardem room of about 5.5m×4m. Is putting up retaining wall on straight section solves any legislation issues or please suggest What is best & simple solution to make everything look even and good appearence. Many Thanks
