Celebrate when they pass the law... but they are going to please so many
people if they do. Me for one.

Depends exactly what the law says, doesn't it? 'No hedges over 6ft'
would be bad news for those people, like me, who live next to large
unsightly public buildings, factories or car parks.

I understand what you are saying but I would suspect you would not have a
problem. The unsightly public buildings, factories or car parks you live
next door to would they complain? Would it be fair to ask you to remove the
screen, I think not.

However I moved because of this and just as I thought I was safe, after
talking to everyone around us before we bought the new house someone in a
newer house down the valley puts up a row of Leylandii trees, several rows
at that. This will over time spoil our view of the valley, which was one of
the reasons we bought the house. I for one agree with the possible new law
as long as its fair, i.e. they take into account both parties, reasons why
etc. So in your case its fair to keep it as long as there is no risk of
damage to property and so on. But in my case, for example it would ruin and
very nice view across the valley which in turn may devalue our property
because of someone's lack of knowledge or selfish behaviour. So we should
have the right to maintain the view without some massive green mess spoiling
it.

Lets hope they use common sense, not easy for the Gov but you never know.

Catch 22!
