High Hedge Legislation
New legislation came into force on 1 June 2005
High Hedge legislation requires the Council to accept and
determine complaints by owners/occupiers of domestic property
adversely affected by evergreen hedges over two metres
high.
The Council's role is to act as an independent and
impartial third party and to assess and determine an appropriate
height for an evergreen hedge where there has been a dispute
between neighbours
