The High Hedge Complaint Letter is a formal mechanism introduced under the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 in England and Wales. This document is used when informal negotiations have failed to resolve disputes over hedges that are over two metres high and negatively impact neighboring properties. The letter must demonstrate that reasonable attempts at resolution have been made before involving the local authority. It should include detailed information about the hedge, its impact, and supporting evidence. This formal complaint process requires payment of a fee to the local authority, who will then investigate and can issue legally binding orders if necessary.
