A homeowner says conflict has arisen after new neighbours moved in and asked them to cut back a front hedge. According to the reports, the new residents have recently changed their own frontage, including paving over the front garden to create space for three cars. The neighbours then told the homeowner that they could not see properly because of the hedge and argued that the homeowner is legally required to reduce its height. The homeowner disputes the claim, saying they are not convinced the law actually compels them to cut the hedge. The accounts describe the disagreement as centring on visibility and whether any legal duty applies to hedges at the front of properties. While one source frames the request as based on the neighbours’ belief that visibility rules require the hedge to be chopped, another notes the homeowner is challenging whether such legal requirements exist. The story highlights an emerging boundary and privacy/visibility dispute between newly arrived neighbours, with uncertainty about the relevant regulations.
