There are a number of criteria that a hedge needs to meet before someone can make a complaint. If you own a high hedge, you need to consider the following questions about your hedge.
-
Is it (or the portion that is causing problems) made up of a line of two or more trees or shrubs?
-
Is it mostly evergreen or semi-evergreen?
-
Is it more than two metres above ground level?
-
Even if there are gaps in the foliage or between the trees, is the hedge still capable of obstructing light?
