'Janice',

It is quite apparent from this site that the legislation will be
retrospective in as much that any hedge not compliant when the new law
comes into force will be subjected to its requirements, forthwith.

I've been told that the new "high hedge" legislation will only apply
to
hedges yet to be planted, and that the legislation is not retroactive
and
will not apply to hedges already growing? Is that correct?

BTW, I do not have a high hedge!

Thanks,
