Lets hope that it gets thrown out ......Whilst this sounds good just
think... it could soon be "Any" hedge over 2 m.. Then where do you measure
from? If you are on sloping ground is it high side or low side?

Decent drafting of the legislation would sort that sort of thing out.

So what of those that require a good wind break? Etc Etc....


The intended law isn't actually banning higher hedges. The intention is
for higher hedges to need planning permission. In the same way as high
fences need planning permission.
