[bischion246]

a neighbour at the bottom of my garden. an neighbours gardens either side of me .planted trees right a long the bottom of all how gardens .they are yewcalyptus trees .they have done this because they was refused planning permission to build another house, which would of taken all how view away.so is there an hight which the trees grow that we could complain, because they are getting big now,and will take all how veiw away,

there is law (I believe!) with regard to the height of hedges. However it can be argued that trees do not constitute a hedge! Talk to your council- they will have info regarding High Hedges legislation and should be able to advise you.

Sounds like a bit of retribution on the part of the tree owner. If you were him, what would you do?

Human nature is such a pain sometimes.

well the planning permission that was refused was before i moved to my property , the nieghbour who applied for planning permission lives in a big bungalow which takes up 2 plots he or i should say she ,because she wears the trousers it seams,wanted to build a 3 storey house right at side of her bungalow and then sell house and bungalow then move to spain ,and we have sea views well at the moment we have how is that for human nature nasty i think.

Hi Bischion,

The law states that three or more "Plants" planted together constitutes a hedge that must not be more than 6ft high.

However there are other considerations.

You will have to speak to your council regarding this.
