Leylandii - Its days are numbered!
In message , Druss
writes 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. Indeed it is, as in so many things 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. Note that first a complaint will haven to be made by a neighbour, and they will have had to try and resolve the issue before complaining to the council, so it wouldn't be out of the blue. The complaint would have to show that there is an unreasonable obstruction of light and it is affecting the reasonable enjoyment of the property. There is also the provision for the council to consider the privacy you get from the hedge as well. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |
