High hedges complaint

We should be the last resort if you have a disagreement over the height of a neighbour's hedge. In all cases you would be expected to have made attempts to resolve the problem through mediation before a formal complaint will be accepted.

A booklet containing advice about the process is also available from Communities and Local Government titled "High Hedges:complaining to the Council"

If once the mediation process has been completed and you still wish to make a complaint you will find downloadable forms and guidance notes below. You should however contact the Enforcement team or Planning team prior to completing the forms.
