This problem has a bit of a history so hear goes..
I would like to grow the hedge to about 6/8 feet high for our privicy as she often stands looking accross our garden. And would have no problem cutting back any branches which overhang their garden.
Would breaking down a hedge like this constitute trespass / vandelism ?
I am planning to put down in writing my plans for the hedge to her and that I would consider any further interference with the hedge or her unplesent behaviour a legal matter.
We've been living here for 11 years and this person moved in 3 years ago with a terrible history of long bitter dispute with most of her previous nighbours.
Would this be the correct course of action or has she the right to insist the hedge be kept down. The hedge is planted inside my side of the boundary fence.
Advice please..
- About two months ago I put up a trampoline in my back garden. Our neighbour complained (unplesently) that we were looking into her back door while using it. Rather than have any problem I moved it.
- I then put up some trelace around the play area to shield it and avoid any further problems. My neighbour complained (unplesently) that this was blocking her view although it is not on or near the boundary. Both sites are about 0.75Acres.
- After returning from holidays I discovered a number of portions of my hedge (~10feet long in two places) broken down at specific points to about 1 foot off the ground, she was complaining while we were away that it was going to spoil her view.
