There have been many reports of people planting quick growing hedges that grow to excessive height, to provide privacy for their property. However this can have a most undesirable effect on the neighbouring properties.
Changes to the Trees (Disputes between Neighbours) Act 2006 will come into force in August, and provide a simple inexpensive and accessible process for resolving disputes about hedges that severely block sunlight or views. A lawyer will not be required.
Councils will then be able to enforce court orders to trim or remove such fences if the owner refuses, with costs being recovered from the owner.

About Me
- Peter
- My background is in engineering and project management, which enables me to help the property management department with fallen trees, blocked drains, and anything else they throw at me. It's much more challenging than supporting submarines as I did in my last job!
