Planning Controls On Residential Hedges

EDM number 404 in 1998-99, proposed by Jim Cunningham on 09/03/1999.

That this House recognises the misery caused by excessively large hedgerows and is supportive of any measure which offers greater protection for those whose lives have been blighted by excessively high hedgerows; and calls upon the Government to give consideration to the introduction of statutory measures which would allow local authority planning officers to exercise greater control over the height of residential hedgerows by amending the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to extend the 'right to light' to tall hedgerows.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs.
