NDN want me to cut down hedge

[Crymeashowr]

NDN are very nosy, if we’re in our front garden either watering plants, washing the cars, even just going out or coming home they will be at their window staring at us and on hot days they will sit on their bench facing our house and watch our every movement. Even if you wave and say hi they keep staring so we began to ignore them, but I got sick of the invasion of privacy and having an audience so we spent a small fortune on hedging and trees to block their view. Now the issue we have is that NDN are complaining that their front garden no longer gets any sun and their plants are dying. It’s not something I took into consideration and I’m not sure if legally I’m wrong for doing this? If they didn’t constantly stare at us then there wouldn’t have been a need for the plants. They never use their back garden which has full sun most of the day.
Am I in my right mind to refuse to lower the hedging?

Toxic empathy. Love it!

Sadly, due to nesting season, you cannot possibly cut the hedge down until 1st October at the earliest. Thus, it will have to stay!

Home should be your safe place, so keep it that way.

There’s always one, isn’t there?

If that is the case, they should try going out for a walk.

They can still see plenty else and spy on other neighbours, just not us any longer.
They have been reported about the dogs by several neighbours but sadly the rspca won’t act as the dogs are fed and cared for!
