My simple question is: A shared hedge for the purpose of my query was cut down without our consent. A reduction of 4 foot is not maintenance. Shouldn't the gardener have been obliged to seek our consent before starting work on it.
SNIP SNIP. Fencing by law cannot exceed 2m in height to the rear of a property. SNIP
I still have a major issue with gardeners that start major work on boundary hedges without direct consent of both neighbours. I think they should be held accountable for destruction of private property.
What is the authority for that proposition ? I am not challenging you - just looking for a basis for that argument as I have a similar problem on hand ! Thanks.
