What is it with Hedgehogs? Fence and border disputes never end well. Triggers a lot of emotions. I would suggest calming down and then speaking to them about it. This is easy. Chop down the remainder and put up a 5ft fence. The drawing of it is worth repeating here. In the example at right, Mr A would be responsible for maintennace of his own ditch which, although it is to Mr B's side of the hedge, is on Mr A's land.
We also saw on the Legal Presumptions page that a careful examination of the shape of the land can be used to rebut the hedge and ditch presumption. In the example at left, whilst it may be difficult to establish where the legal boundary might be, we can be certain that it is not on the outer rim of the ditch. Return to Top of Page Rural Conventions In rural communities it is the practice to plant a hedge at least, those hedges planted on the edges of fields at a small distance inside the boundary.
The information in the Boundary Remark Books OS 26 was derived from surveys along parish and other boundaries with the assistance of local inhabitants called meresmen who were familiar with the course of ancient boundaries. That information was subsequently transferred to the Boundary Sketch Maps OS 27 for display in the parish concerned.
Comments by members of the public are recorded in the Journals of Inspection OS All these series of documents were discontinuexd in The web page dealing with Series 0S 26 tells us: This series consists of small books containing hand-drawn strip maps prepared by the Ordnance Survey to record original information on public boundaries under the provisions of the Ordnance Survey Act The books relate to English, Welsh and Scottish boundaries.
The maps show boundary and related ground features and carry the signatures or marks of the meresmen for the parishes on each side of the boundary. Walls are however as a rule built up to the extent of property. Return to Top of Page Administrative Boundaries and Property Boundaries The above two cases, from Hunston in West Sussex and from Dartington in Devon, amply demonstrate the relationship between administrative boundaries and property boundaries.

We have already seen on the Legal Presumptions page that, where there is a hedge planted on a bank with a ditch to the outer side of the hedge and bank, the hedge and ditch presumption holds that the boundary is to be found on the outer rim of the ditch. This series consists of small books containing hand-drawn strip maps prepared by the Ordnance Survey to record original information on public boundaries under the provisions of the Ordnance Survey Act See our guide Unhappy with a Neighbour's Hedge here".
More often than not, no matter who owns the hedge, most neighbours of adjoining properties will simply maintain their side of the hedge. However, it is important to understand the legal position on hedges just in case any disputes arise. Previous Page. Next Page. You might also like Making Your Neighbourhood a Nicer Place.
Getting to Know Your Neighbours. Looking Out for Elderly Neighbours. What can I do about where I can report it because it is impossible to reach an agreement with the neighbor. He cut the bushes and trees growing from the property he was renting, and despite Togo that I asked him not to, he transferred them to my side, destroying my flowers. Antes - Aug PM. My mother in-law has a 2m wooden fenceshe is 86 year old but next door has hedge about 4m high it is starting grow out of the wooden fence panels and now there getting distorted when winter comes the leaves block the drains he has trimmed back his side but will not touch mothers side?
My neighbours hedge stretches its width across both our boundaries at the rear of the semi-detached properties. The hedge belongs to my neighbour but while I was out the other day he decided to cut the top which is already below 2m high on both sides of the boundary meaning he would have to lean over to cut the top which grows on my side.
This was done without any conversation. GGeilian - Jul AM. Hi I have a shared driveway with my neighbours but their hedge is impeding the access to my property. Can it be cut during nesting season if the hedge becomes too much of an obstacle? There is a tall hedge on the back of my mother's small cottage garden which backs onto a farmers field.
It looks like the hedge is on or just inside mums boundary. The Nextdoor neighbours have no hedge where their garden borders the field. The hedge is around 12ft tall and cuts light out of both garden and cottage. The farmer is intimidating and aggressive and threatened to sue if we touched the hedge. He chased a gardener away whilst he was trimming the hedge in January. What can we do? Ideas please. JJ - May PM. When I moved into my Proerty there was a boundary wooden fence on my side, however I was always having to repair the fence as despite me asking them NOT to my Neighbour was hanging baskets on the fence and bushes were overgrown which were making the fence lean and break.
I continued to replace fence panels with a wall With wood between pillars, their Landlady told them NOT to put hanging baskets on wall or attach any nails etc, which they totally ignore. Last year I contacted the land lady as he had built a trough against the wall , and was planting bushes and now what looks like tree in trough, which have roots which will grow into the foundation of the wall, despite contacting the landlady because when I was repainting the wooden part, I noticed that the wood is rotting because he has a plastic greenhouse again attached to wall.
I am angry that the Landlady has not done anything about this problem and they still continue to plant bushes etc in the trough.
If there is any damage too the wall or wood am I within my rights to ask for all cost when repairing wall And fencing Hedgehog - 5-Apr PM.
I have a terraced cottage without access to any street. My neighbour has two conifers, 12 feet high, next to a dry stone wall defining our boundaries. I drew attention to the fact that this is causing problems with the structure of the wall The only reply to my request was refusal to pay for their removal, or even reducing their height.
Thank you Maggie - 4-Apr AM. Hi, we have hedge between me n my neighbour. They have cut tree trunk n now has left hole n easily accessible for the neighbour to come into my garden without permission. I was how would be the best way to approach the matter as I do not really want to speak to them.
Gully - Mar PM. We have an existing yew hedge approx 30years old that separates our boundary and the farmers field. Last year he planted a mixed native hedge with whips approx 1. Our main concerns are that this new hedge will grow to 2. He agreed on email that he would remove it and now he has said he isn't going to remove it.
Where do we stand with this? Bins - Jan PM. At the side of our property is an access lane to a farm field. The field is leased to a farmer. The owners of the land cut the hedges once a year with a tractor and cutter. This leaves debris all over our garden and drive. Do the landowners have a legal responsibility to clear the debris as it is quite a lot and quite thorny.
When we have been at home when the hedges have been cut we have moved our cars off the drive to prevent any damage. Do the landowners not have a responsibility to inform us when they are undertaking such work? Quackers - Nov PM. I have a hedge at the bottom of my garden that backs on to a farmers field. There is a covenant that contains a clause in respect of my obligations to erect and maintain a fence between my land and the field. The farmer is saying that there is a clause with the Land Registry documentation stating that I must erect and maintain a stock proof fence - although I haven't seen this clause.
Is a hedge a type of fence? Is there a case where this has been defined? The farmer is now saying that the fence must be suitable for his needs and it is my responsibility to build fencing. Mark - Nov PM. We have two issues: Issue 1 neighbour 1:We have a joint 4m heigh 3m wide hedge. The neighbour does not want it lowering, we are really struggling todeal with it.
