A neighbour's towering leylandii are being cut. A "hedge" 10 metres wide 14 metres high.
The council had given the house owner 56 days to reduce them to 2 metres height. and remove any branches overhanging the gulley.
Today is day 52.
My letter to the council asking for access to the locked gulley they straddle worked. The owner thought he could get away with them as they were, but they are in contravention of the Highways Act as the gulley belongs to the council.
He must also unblock the gulley to the rear of his home.
And his immediate neighbour must replace the gulley fencing and paving he removed.
RESULT!!!! Sod the High Hedges Law and it's £360 fee for inspection. More light for my garden (they used to shade it for around 3 hours a day).
