Legislation
High Hedges legislation came into force on 1 June
2005. Part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act created new
procedures which enable us to deal with complaints from you about
evergreen high hedges.
When can you complain?
Where negotiation between the parties concerned
has failed, a complaint can be made to the council who will assess
the case, acting as an independent and impartial third party. If
you believe that a neighbour's hedge can be seen to be a nuisance
to you then you may be able to complain to the Council under the
new legislation. |

High Hedges area of the Department of Communities and Local
Government (DCLG) website
