Forthcoming legislation on large trees
"Alan Gould" wrote in message
... In article , eddy writes Does anyone here know full details ? types of trees ,heights, light deprivation ? IIRC new legislation is proposed to bring the height of growing hedges into line with constructed fences, i.e. normally a maximum of 2m./6'6". It aimed primarily at nuisance from Leylandii hedges which are left untrimmed, but it would also take in other hedging problems. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. I'm planting a native hedge which isn't going to be a problem height for a few years. When it is though, how is the height llimit enforced with respect to the natural growth of hedges through the year? I'm thinking of something I heard that trimming native hedges every year is damaging to the wildlife and it's better to do it every three years instead. Something to do with production of fruits etc. being better that way. If I do that though the hedge will necessarily fluctuate in height between about 6ft and 8-9ft or more. I imagine trimming a hedge to exactly 6ft every couple of months for legal reasons would be bad for the hedge for wildlife reasons? Martin |
