Your council makes decisions about high hedges.

You can appeal against a high hedge remedial notice or the councils decision not to issue one if you either:

• complained to the council about the hedge
• own, rent or occupy the land that the hedge is on

Theres no fee for appealing.

Deadline for appealing

You must appeal within 28 days of:

• the remedial notice
• your councils decision either to take no action, or to change an existing remedial notice (withdraw, waive or relax)

When you can expect a decision

Once your appeal is validated, youll normally get a decision within 34 weeks.
