Leylandii - Its days are numbered!
"Drakanthus" wrote in message
... Looks like neighbours will have one thing less to fall out about soon... According to the BBC news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2557749.stm -- Drakanthus. ( Spam filter: Include the word VB anywhere in the subject line or emails will never reach me.) It is such a shame that a few idiots who cannot be bothered to control an otherwise excellent fast form of hedging can cause so much trouble for others. The largest part of the reason why I bought my current house was because of it's excellent privacy, afforded entirely by it's having 8 foot leylandii hedges either side. These I have kept to 8 foot high for six or seven years now and it really is not that much work. To be told they have to come down to 6 foot, will mean exposing my garden to every upstairs window in the area. So then anyone can see exactly what I have in the back garden, they can see if anyone is around. I am sure, this is going to be taken as a troll, but I genuinely believe that this would be a truly stupid law to pass. I agree entirely that hedges over 10 feet are excesive, and with leylandii reaching 40 feet or more I can understand how that SHOULD be controlled. However to cut these trees down to only 6 feet will almost certainly half if not quarter the population of wild birds in my garden, and will leave me with a house which will be that much harder to sell. So, in conclusion who do I sue, when I find thousands of pounds being wiped off the value of my home due to the inaction of some inconsiderant morons who cannot even be bothered to control something as simple as a hedge.
