Service Description: Advice regarding the High Hedges Bill, forms for complaint against a neighbour's high hedge, leaflets regarding high hedges.
Answer: Not necessarily. There is no legislation against having a high hedge. It is only when a neighbour brings a complaint to the Council that they may require the owner to reduce the hedge. 2 metres is the lowest the Council can ask for, it may only require a reduction that will not necessarily be as low as 2 metres but will remedy the problem.
