That the Council consider the introduction of legislation to support complaints about high hedges not being cut back to sustainable levels/ heights/ widths in private estates. In the UK Part 8 of their Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 allows for their Councils to mediate between parties whose hedges and trees have overgrown and are affecting the house next door in several ways. The UK documentation on High Hedge legislation is at the following link, http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/highhedgescomplaining.pdf (Cllr Kieran McCarthy)
