leylandii hedges for 'the chop'
 

The government are to add what was the high hedges bill to the current
antisocial behaviour bill going through Parliament. The bill will, in
effect, allow local councils to intervene in disputes over hedge
heights, and they will be allowed, if the case is proven, to cut them
down to a height of 2m. This is after a conservative MP talked the bill
out earlier. The Bill will, in fact, have all party backing.

The question is can the local authority be relied on to maintain the
hedge at 2 metres?

My neighbour's Leylandii hedge is a bit less than 2m, but as it's to the
north of my garden, I don't care how high it gets.

Within reason.

Hmmmm. And might you be wanting yours to grow above periscope height?

But if I were to plant trees along the full length of my 6 foot high hedge,
would those trees then have to be cut down to the regulation height? My
neighbour wants me to cut down my conifer hedge (8 feet high) but he has
several trees on his side, and his trees are much higher than 8 feet.

Well I hope we don't have to cut our 7 foot hawthorn hedges down, will
the law apply to all hedges or only those that people complain about?

They should be safe in the absence of complaints

Not all hedges constitute a fence (or offence)

Or in the case of the above, more like 'in fertile soil'.

Not all hedges constitute a fence (or offence)

and it still refers to evergreen or partly evergreen.
