What happens after you apply for a High Hedge Notice
We assess your application, and comments received from interested parties, and decide whether to serve a High Hedge Notice. If a notice is served, it will outline what action is required to reduce the adverse impact of the hedge.
The owner of the hedge may appeal against the notice within 28 days.
You can also appeal if a notice is not served or you disagree with the action outlined in the notice.
Making an appeal
If you have been served with a high hedge notice and wish to appeal, or if you have applied to issue a notice on a neighbour and disagree with our decision, you have up to 28 days to appeal from the day you are notified of our decision.
