Way hay. At last, I can force my neighbour to trim his flipping leylandii
down to a reasonable level.

No, you can't. At most, you can apply to your local authority, which
may choose to do that. We shall discover which ones choose to, and
which choose not to.

The mere fact that I can get on to the council will get him to trim his
hedge as he regards himself as a pillar of society and would be deeply
ashamed that anyone knew how unreasonable he was about his hedge.

Before long, no doubt conveyance solicitors will search council
records of "hedge disputes", just in case a vendor concealed a
dispute with their neighbour. I suspect property buyers and sellers
may find written evidence of difficult neighbours, an even worse
property blight than the hedge itself.


but selling a house now without telling of a neighbour dispute will cause
you problems - no different with the HH bill except there is a soution the
the HH problem

Not if he doesn't believe he is being unreasonable about his hedge. Watch
out for the phrase 'a matter of principle', usually a precursor to a juicy
and bitterly contested dispute :-)

He knows because he says he will trim it "when he gets a round tuit". The
one time he did pay someone to do the job, the other side was lower than my
side, so he is doing it to annoy me. Ah well, since I planted the clematis
montana and russian vine they are at least prettier. I am amazed at how high
clematis grows.
