High hedge notices
High hedges may cause issues between neighbours. The High Hedges (Scotland) Act 2013 (the Act) can provide a solution if neighbours are unable to resolve disputes amicably.
The Act is not designed to impact on woodlands and forests. Generally these are not planted as hedges.
The following outlines what the Act covers, and how it works.
Key information: The role of the council is as an impartial moderator. Advice can only be given on the application process.
