Default High Hedge Legislation

...

Root damage will not be allowed as a direct ground for complaint as proof
needs expert witnesses and such disputes are beyond the scope of this law.
The grower will not be able to claim that he needs a huge hedge to give

his
upstairs windows total privacy. There will be severe limits set on the
amount of privacy which can be claimed as of right, but if the grower

claims
that there is some special reason why he needs more than standard privacy
his claims will be, at the least, considered.


I have a leylandii hedge which I keep trimmed to below 6ft. At the end
nearest the house, I have a fir which is tall, next to my window. Will
this be a problem?. None of my trees interfere with my neighbours' light.
