Hedge height
OK - steps are being taken to limit the height of hedges and rightly so.
What about the following situation? Towards the end of my lane there are a couple of big (massive) detached houses which back onto fields. They have tall (20ft) very well maintained leylandii hedges between them and the fields - no problem at the moment. But .. new houses are now being built on the fields (awful). Can they be forced to reduce the height of their hedges even though they were there before the new houses and even though anyone buying one of the new houses will be aware of the hedges before buying? Just wondered - doesn't affect me personally. -- Regards, Tròy the Black Lab. |

forced to reduce the height of their hedges even though they were there before the new houses and even though anyone buying one of the new houses will be aware of the hedges before buying? Knowing what I 'did' know about building houses on land with other stuff, things, houses, factories, around them......... no. I feel it is on a similar vein as the people who moved to the country for a bit of 'piece and quiet' then complained about the Cock crowing. Mike |

I don't know, but I would imagine their hedges are at risk. The same as people living in new houses built by airports seem to have the right to complain about the noise... -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |
