An 11-metre tall fence is at the centre of an ugly neighbourhood feud after it was constructed during Sydney's Covid-19 lockdown without council approval.
The eyesore was erected around the back yard of a Chester Hill home, in Sydney's west.
Angry residents of the quiet street told Daily Mail Australia the monstrous structure appeared suddenly in July - without any warning or council consultation.
They claim their subsequent complaints to the homeowner and Cumberland Council about the height of the fence have not been responded to.
'It blocks the sun, we don't really get sun any more,' a local resident said.
'I'm very stressed, I like my flowers and the view, with the trees before it was nice but now it's very bad.'
Neighbours watched in horror as a family erected an 11-metre wall and casted their backyards into darkness during Sydney's latest lockdown
The wall was built in July and surrounds the backyard of the Chester Hill home in Sydney's west
Neighbours say they've contacted Northumberland Council over the wall but have had no help from local MPs
Neighbours said three large pine trees stood in the place of the wall dividing the neighbour's yard for years until they were suddenly chopped down, a month after Sydney's lockdown began.
Tradesmen were then seen arriving to construct the giant L-shaped wall.
