Why would the neighbour be *happy* with a leylandii hedge on their
boundary, when its very presence puts a burden of cutting it onto
them?

Because it's a dense evergreen hedge affording privacy and making a matt
green backdrop to other plantings; because other hedges also need
cutting, and some of them have prickles! Because fences need repair,
invariably in the most awful weather because they've just blown down.
Because maybe the neighbour has agreed to cut *both* sides.

And I'm very happy because it cuts out the view of a busy road junction
and a crucifix and the goldcrests nest in it.
