Leylandii - Its days are numbered!

"Bob" wrote in message om... You certainly should not have the right to maintain that view! It's pretty unreasonable to expect the inhabitants of the valley to behave in such a way as to preserve your view of them. When you bought your house you did not buy the rights to the view, or the land that it is made from. Why should someone living a mile away have to concern themselves with what you want? Bob Not quite a mile away more like 100ft and tell me if you were in the same position as me and they decided to block your view, would you not be upset? The planting they have done does not even add any additional privacy as they were private anyway, so what's the sense in that. Leylandii has its uses, I agree, but most of the time its used by gardeners with no patience or creativity. Steve 100ft could almost be next door, and is close enough to block the entire view - I got the impression from your original post that these trees were some distance away, and would therefore just affect part of it - your concerns are not as unreasonable as I first thought! It makes me wonder what the scope of this law will be. Obviously an 80ft tree could be a problem to more than just the immediate neighbour, so I assume that anyone will be able to complain about high hedges, not just the person living next door. It also may affect other plants other than leylandii. What will it mean for my 15ft lilac trees out front, or the 20ft plum tree at the back? I also have a row of 30ft leylandii screening a factory whose rear wall is the garden boundary (they don't shadow anyone's house or garden). There are windows in that wall, and they have their fire exit open in summer for a bit of air, so we would loose quite a bit of privacy if the leylandii had to go. Bob |
