I have a tree in my own garden. I believe I have responsibility for
keeping
it cut back to levels that won't bother my neighbours or damage their
property, and I pay a tree surgeon to do just that. I think other people
have the same responsibility,

I'll second that - but fear we are in the minority (probably not in the
refined world of URG but certaily in the real world!)


It seems that the law is a bit confusing on this, I hope the new hedge law
clarifies the matter.


WRT hedges yes, trees no.
