Horse netting with barbed wire tight up to the actual boundary. Very difficult to climb.

I put a good stock netting fence alongside the boundary of a garden. Kept it away a couple of feet from what there was of a hedge. So now he uses it as a storage area for anything he doesn't want to see from his house.
With hindsight I should of fenced tight up to the boundary.

There does not have to be any confrontation. Just a letter giving them a set period of time to remove their newly planted hedge, and re instate the correct boundary.
By placing something else in front of them you are just going to make them dig their heels in further. You will get more vexed, and it will escalate.

Any aggression from their side, keep your cool, report it to plod and get an incident number. I've learnt that much from my own experiences.
Also, try not to force people into a corner. Always give them a way out. Avoid face-to-face confrontations and try to involve an impartial third party to act as an intermediary. Local councillor? Think how the story will sound if read out in court.

we had a neighbor get clever on us, so we put up a fence with tin sheet around their kitchen window, probably still there 20 years after putting it up, can't behave, the toys get taken away
the new occupier parks a 2000 gal slurry tanker not far from the fence now so i dunno what falling out they've had

Just had agent out to look at garden creep. Sadly he thinks it's been left too long as grandad didn't bother dealing with it. Agent reckons the cost of fighting it will be more than the value of the land! Bloody annoying and on principle I want to fight it.
They have said they would like to buy a large plot behind house.....not gonna happen or if it does it will be even more expensive.
Even if it does cost you a bit get it dealt with now not tomorrow.
I agree with above comments about giving them a way out to save face a bit. If they still don't concede then you can escalate to sticking scrap heap, pig arks, muck heap (at correct distance).
Consider a polite letter to all neighbours regarding boundaries to prevent empt this from happening again. Another pet hate of mine us garden gates into my fields appearing.

Mind and give the solicitor firm instructions not to respond to any communication from them
without your express permission, Costs can be racked up without you knowing else.

That is exactly what I would have done (only without delay).

what a load of tossers wanting to park scrap, put a bale heap there and threats or the likes,
dont lower yourselves to their level of intelligence
deal with this in a professional way, either land agent (yes i know you lot hate them) or solicitor (yes it will cost),
but at the very least use some sort of professional third party to deal with this,
and yes @wasted years is right, the planning lot would look into this for you, but the change of use would be enforced on the land owner, and this would not be helpful in this case, as the land owner has aloud ag land to be changed to a garden,
on the other side of the coin, as far as i see it, and there would be nothing to stop it at all, and not only that, it would be totally legal,
looking at the picture there would be enough room to get a grab bucket loader on a hiab over the fence in your boundary,
send them a letter, stating that you are polity asking from them to remove their goods from your land, and reinstate the boundary fence on its original path, and state they have 6 weeks to complete the work
after that just reach over grab it out with the bucket and drop it back on their land,

Don't waste your time with planners, they will just view it as a neighbour conflict and probably not get involved.
Write a letter telling them they have encroached on your land, give them two weeks to put it right, if they don't the next letter will instigate legal proceedings, claim your land back and charge them for the costs.
I appreciate you don't like conflict but you can't let people walk over you. Be matter of fact, professional and firm.

I'd take the planning legal route.
Also remove bottom wire from boundary fenceso cattle can just reach under to the edge of your property. Hedge gone cattle happy.

Not so sure what species the hedge plants are.
Hope they aren't poisonous to livestock.
Personally. I would put a fence on the boundary, shift their crap off and plant a blackthorn hedge between the fences.
If they so much as touched my stuff they would have the cops round to warn them of criminal damage.
Forget the legal route.
Possession is nine tenths of the law.

What are you going to do when they put a gate in your fence so they can get easy access to maintain their hedge from "your" side, start mowing a strip about six feet wide and eventually put up another fence to keep your stock off of their hedge?
