Leylandii - Its days are numbered!

writes In article , Chris French and Helen Johnson writes I haven't read it yet. I've now had a bit of a read, though not in detail, my take on the proposals is this: snip 3. A high hedge is defined as two or more adjacent evergreen trees or shrubs which form a barrier, of a height greater than 2 metres. Two trees makes a hedge!!! This is the law we are talking here - not real life..... I can forsee a situation when two large Leylandii growing near a house could block out a lot of light. But evergreen, so the 15ft lilacs are OK :-) Looks like it. Does that mean my cypresses aren't a hedge, because there's a small deciduous Viburnum between them, so they are not adjacent? Adjacent does not have to mean adjoining. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

True :-) I can forsee a situation when two large Leylandii growing near a house could block out a lot of light. *One* large leylandii could block out a lot of light!

Adjacent does not have to mean adjoining. 'Thrown together', literally, isn't it, from the latin? Things can't be adjacent if there is something else between them. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |

'Thrown together', literally, isn't it, from the latin? No idea. Things can't be adjacent if there is something else between them. It is often taken to mean adjoining, but one of the dictionary meanings of Adjacent is 'close to' , or 'Nearby' (as in 'Adjacent cities' say) I guess what is implied is that there is nothing the same in between. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

If you actually look at the detail of the HH Bill you will find theres still
the ? of blocking light to neighbours garden and whats reasonable That of course is going to be the ? council tree officers would have to decide if the neighbours concerned were not able to reach a compromise by other means including mediation Good neighbours will discuss and even mediate Real hedge bullies will never discuss or mediate and will actually be as obstinate as possible "Essjay001" wrote in message ...
