I STRONGLY recommend doing so, and negotiating with the new owners.
You will never be in a stronger position. If it looks ghastly,
you could reasonably ask for a tall hedge of a different type.
Or whatever.

And don't assume that, because the plans say X, they will even TRY
to do X. Get a commitment in writing.
