We have launched a short survey to help us deliver service improvements for residents and businesses across our district. This is your chance to say what you think we are getting right and where we need to get better.
High hedges
If you have concerns about or are having an issue with the height of a neighbour's hedge, you should initially try to resolve the problem with them informally before we can become involved.
Before we can accept a complaint, you must be able to demonstrate that you have made every attempt to resolve the problem through mediation.
We will visit the site to take hedge measurements and other details. If we decide that action should be taken, we will send a formal 'Remedial Notice' to the hedge owner outlining what they need to do and by when.
Both you and the hedge owner have the right to appeal our decision.
Appealing the decision
For information about the circumstances in which an appeal against the Council's decision can be made and who can appeal please visit the Planning Inspectorate website.
