I haven't read it yet.
I've now had a bit of a read, though not in detail, my take on the
proposals is this:
However it would:
1. Give owners or occupiers of domestic properties the right to
complain the local authority about a high hedge. (note it's limited to
domestic properties - a neighbouring factory couldn't complain)
That's sense.
3. A high hedge is defined as two or more adjacent evergreen trees or
shrubs which form a barrier, of a height greater than 2 metres.
Two trees makes a hedge!!!
But evergreen, so the 15ft lilacs are OK :-)
Does that mean my cypresses aren't a hedge, because there's a small
deciduous Viburnum between them, so they are not adjacent?
