Hi, we are hoping to purchase a property with restrictive convent on having fences, walls and hedges in front garden. This restrictive convent is from the company who originally built the house but no longer in business. I want to grow a hedge around the front garden. Do you know who will impose restrictive convent on this case? No planning permission required to grow a hedge. Please help.

If anyone does complain just say there are birds nesting so it can't be moved. Maybe some bats also...
Would it actually affect any of your neighbours in a negative way?

I believe covenants are usually part of the original planning permission for the development, so the local authority can enforce, but in my (albeit limited experience) they seldom do. If others have done similar already, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
