He's already explained the situation. Screening off 3-storey flats, no
shadow cast over the building. Just because some hedges cause problems
doesn't mean to say all hedges in all situations do!

Only a three storey block? Most old Victorian houses would be that high.
Fifteen feet is still a lot - and a lot of mainainance as I explained in the
large chunk you selectively snipped.

A 15ft fence isn't going to be much better.
Nothing will screen the top floors of this block effectively unless it is
near to his own house , in which case it may only need to be four feet high
for the same effect.
A fence will certainly pose less of a maintainance problem.

And whatever you may feel about a 15ft hedge, a three storey block of
flats complete with people overlooking your house and garden is a lot
worse!

If you dont like being overlooked then dont live in a town is the simple
answer .
Being overlooked is part of urban life - Ive been there.

Sorry, just giving you a reality check on that one.
