High hedges

If you have a disagreement over the height of a neighbour's hedge, you should always try and solve the problem by talking to your neighbour before contacting us. You must have tried to solve the problem yourself before we will accept a formal complaint. Advice about the process is also available from GOV.UK: High Hedges: Complaining to the Council.

If, once talks are finished, you still want to make a complaint you can use our online high hedge complaint form.

Before a high hedge complaint is investigated, a fee must be paid to cover our administrative costs. This is currently £400. Payments can be made online or by telephone on 024 7683 1109.
