If it's her hedge, then the neighbour can invoke the high hedges
legislation and ask for it to be cut back.

Yes but that costs the aggrieved party £400+. non-refundable to get the
local Council to just look at it. Some might not have that sort of money
to throw at the problem without a guaranteed outcome in their favour.
