Go on the web and look at the High Hedge Act. This will help you decide what action to take. There is a lot you can do, but it will cost if you bring your Local Authority into the equation. These trees are really anti-social and a nuisance. You DO have a right to light and, unlike fences, conifers grow! You DON'T have a right to SUNlight by the way. I hope you succeed whatever you decide. All the very best.

It depends where you live to some extent. In England there are laws to limit the height of leylandi hedges, but no such law is yet in effect in Scotland. I'm told the general rule is 5 metres but you should check with your local council to get the correct answer for where you live. It doesn't matter who the hedge belongs to, the law is the same for council tenants and privately owned properties.

Your city county housing commission would have that info. I think it's no higher than 4 feet. But don't quote me on that. Each are varies depending on where you are.

There is a sliding scale - the further away, the higher it can be. Ask your local council.

Do you mean the legal maximum height?
