Legally removing a hedge.

It there a way to legally remove a hedge? Two fields joined with a hedge that goes half way across and fence the other. Would like to remove to join the two fields together.

Would be happy to replace with a new hedge elsewhere, at twice the length etc.

Who do you need to speak to?

We took out a 100m or so in a similar situation. Planners accepted it, no objections despite being near a footpath.

We got pp to remove a hedge about 4 years ago no.problem. The hedge did make a small 3 cornered field on a steep bank that sloped both ways so was dangerous for turning machinery and what we based application on.

If you stump a hedge off to rejuvenate it, are you legally obliged to protect the regrowth, or can the sheep escape and gnaw it down repeatedly?
