Not yet; a bill was blocked just a couple of weeks ago. See
http://freespace.virgin.net/clare.h/ for more details.

There wont be a huge shadow thrown over their house or
anything as it would be just at the back of their garden.


It seems that all these "privacy hedges" start off this way, but lack of
maintenance or new neighbours seem to end up putting a spanner in the
works sooner or later.

If you're serious about being fair to your neighbours, it's probably best
to talk it over with them /before/ you start planting, and perhaps think
about making some kind of legal agreement with them that's tied to the
property, rather than to you, the present owner.

Thanks


Best Regards,
Alex.
