Time to trim your hedge.
"martin" wrote in message ... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...633151,00.html I bet my ex neighbor would love to see that law passed over here....he installed a swimming pool at the end of his garden which was too close to our bedroom...that was OK except he had two noisy brats that invited a whole bunch of kids over...it was bedlam at times and the parents did nothing to control them...so...up went a Leylandii Cyprus hedge....we moved to another location two years later but now have the pleasure of seeing the 'living fence' about 10 metres high, still growing and blocking out the sunlight from the pool....the folk that bought our house love the Leylandii and are allowing to grow...H |

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...633151,00.html Read it this morning - interesting ! A house in our road has had a 20 ft high well maintained leylandii hedge for some time. Until recently the house has been overlooking fields. Fields now have houses built on them (yuk). A house has been built next to the 20 ft leylandii hedge. Can the owners of the new house demand that the hedge (which was there before their house) be trimmed to 2 metres? Interesting :-) -- Regards, Troy the Black Lab. |

Interesting :-) I would say no as they would have known about it when they purchased the property. If the hedge had been 6' when they moved in and then grew another 7" then yes. If they didn't want to live beside a Leylandii, they should have bought somewhere else... -- In memory of MS MVP Alex Nichol: http://www.dts-l.org/ |

"martin" wrote in message ... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...633151,00.html My house level is lower than my neighbours by 3 feet. The hedge is planted in a raised bed which adds approx. 3.5 feet to the hedge height on my side. I recently cut my side of the hedge to approx. 5 feet but with the added height of the raised bed this equates to a hedge height of about 8 feet. My neighbours cut their side yesterday but cut their side to approx 6.5 feet thinking 5 feet was too small. Where does the law stand on this? Is the height of the hedge calculated top to root or from top to walking ground level and does it take into account different house levels? |
