Has anyone any experience of getting an order to make a neighbour cut a very high hedge? I know it's possible and that a conifer hedge over 2m is something that you can get an order on but how easy is it? We really want to buy a house but the conifer hedge which must be 4m high at least blocks all the afternoon sun to the garden. The vendors reckon it's not a problem and they would cut it if asked but I suspect it is a problem otherwise why is it still there? No one puts up with that surely? They have trimmed their side where it overhangs but that's all you can legally do. There are a couple of other potential issues as well such as needing to knock down a brick outbuilding to get access to the rear otherwise it's just allocated parking. It's grade 2 listed so we know there will be issues and expense with that. It's definitely a heart purchase!
