Legally removing a hedge.

[bht]

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?

You have to apply to the Local planning authority or national Park authority - good luck!

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?

Is the hedge racist ? If so, it needs to be removed.

Blackthorn?

maybe whitethorn?

If it is whitethorn it can be legally removed because it is an oppressive and racist plant although you may have to replace it with a transgender hedge.

Please do not disturb my nesting Blackbirds until after the chicks have fledged!!

Don't suppose it was planted by an 18th century slave trader? I could get you some help removing it if so.

But you don't want to take a hedge out do you?

You want to widen a 60m gateway
