| Leylandii Law |

Q: My neighbour is asking me to cut my leylandii hedge down to 2.4m, as he says this is the maximum allowable in law. Can you confirm this, or tell me what is the maximum height. The hedge is at least 100ft away from both houses and forms the boundary.

Hello, please please help me understand if my neighbour is just being a pain in the a**. We have a group of leylandii around 30ft from his house not affecting his light at all as the tress are only about 20ft high? Does he have any 'ground' to stand on complaing to council etc?

Do you need planning permission to plant Leylandii trees?

My nabour has just planted a row of tree along my new fence I have just put up. They are young trees about approx 1mtr high and the branches already touch my new fence.

Should my nabour be aloud to plant the trees so close to my new fence as they will grow above and hang over my fence in a few years? report abuse

I am responsible for co-ordinating high hedge complaints (NOT just Leylandii but any evergreen or semi-evergreen species) and have published a simple guide to the law on our website http://tinyurl.com/5va8m6.
There is a link on the page that connects to further information from the government site.
Hope that helps.
