High hedges

The Council can deal with complaints about high hedges under Part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003. However, before the Council can intervene you will need to prove you have tried all other routes to resolve the matter with your neighbour. 

To make a complaint please complete the form below, having read the guidance notes first. Please note there is a charge for this service of £319.
