Default Forthcoming legislation on large trees

In article , Alan Holmes

I wonder what would constitute 'other hedging problems'?

We have one or two plants which grow taller than 2M, our neighbour
sometimes complains about the fact that one or two of then grow
over onto her side of the boundary, the boundary is some 200 feet
long, would she be entitled to force us to trim these plants to 2M?

Those are some examples of other hedging problems. Ownership of growing
fruit is another. We have some trees and bushes in a 100m long roadside
hedge which would interfere with passing traffic if they were not
attended to. If the new Act were passed, it would be law rather than
neighbours which required trimming to be done between gardens, though
occupiers could report a nuisance to the authorities.
