Is there a legal height for conifers?

The owners of the garden behind ours have a wall of 4 enormous conifers
which, over the past few years, have grown so tall that they are
increasingly blocking the sunlight in our garden.

We were wondering if there is a legal height for such trees.


AFAIR it is 2 metres. There's an outfit called Hedge Line which appears to

They should have the information you want. However, it would be better to
talk to your neighbours first in a friendly way to see if they would agree to
lopping them.
