If you're affected by the height of a neighbour’s hedge and cannot resolve the issue directly, you may be able to ask us to intervene.
Before making a complaint
We recommend reading:
- Over the garden hedge – advice on resolving hedge disputes informally
- High hedges: complaining to the Council – guidance on the complaint process
Submitting a complaint
If informal resolution fails, you can submit a formal complaint to us.
- a fee of £150 applies and must be paid by the person making the complaint.
- use the high hedges complaint form to begin the process.
