I know of one designer that had a courtyard villa wall behind it. They had (yes, had) the most beautiful Japanese garden in the back -- a small waterfall, rocks, trees, statutary. All truly tasteful and beautiful. The neighborhood and friends loved to congregate back there to sit and talk. New neighbors complained and they had to remove it.
So, basically, it seems the rule is as long as Neighborhood Watch doesn't see it and no one complains, you can get away with it. If someone complains, it becomes history.
