High hedge disputes
If the enjoyment of your home is being spoiled by a high hedge on neighbouring land, you must speak to your neighbour to try and resolve the issue. As a last resort, you can apply to us to issue your neighbour with a High Hedge Notice.
Your application must include evidence that you have tried to resolve the issue with your neighbour, or your application will be dismissed.
Advice on high hedge notices
We offer a pre-application service if you are not sure what to do. We can advise you whether an application could be accepted, not whether a notice is likely to be served.
There is a fee of £127. Payment will be requested when you submit our online form.
Your application will not be valid until payment has been received. This is deductible from the cost of any subsequent application for a high hedge notice.
