Because 8 foot is not too high a hedge when your garden is 200 foot
long

Not sure I follow that reasoning. If a neighbour considers 8ft a
nuisance then, to him/her, it is a nuisance - no matter how long it
is, or how practical you think it is.

Actually I then added 60 foot wide or so which means it won't cast shade
right across the garden, nor obliterate the views at 8 foot. The garden
would have to be considerably smaller for 8 foot to be intrusive,


I resent the implication that I am a nuisance neighbour!

Heaven forbid that you should draw that implication. Only your
neighbour can decide whether your actions constitute a nuisance. I
have an 8ft hedge which my neighbour and I mutually and amicably care
for.



Haven't got neighbours ................Well I have two very large
detached houses either side but they are both still owned by the company
that built them in 1935 and the original tenants both moved out due to
age, about four years ago. So the company short term lets for 2,000
pounds a month!

Hence they don't bother with the gardens and the bottom half of one is
so wild I had to go in with heavy duty pruning equipment to clear a path
so I could trim back the hedge on their side!
