Sadly theres no basis in law for suing for loss of light, loss of amenity
or
loss of house value

I read this as being a precedent just waiting to be set, I would have
thought loss of house value would have been a fairly simple one to
establish if the Leylandii are the sole reason.


Loss of house value would indeed be a very easy thing to establish - but
that alone is not actionable in court.

If what I am doing on my property is legal (both statute and common law) and
within planning regs, there is nowt you can do about it no matter what
effect it has on your house value.

While keen and responsible hobby gardeners might well keep a Leylandii hedge
under control it is, in my opinion, irresponsible to advise someone who
needs to ask for basic advice on hedging plants in a forum such as this to
plant Leylandii.

That is only your opinion though.
