Hedges
Hedges are an invaluable part of our environment that help to screen development, provide privacy and also support a wide variety of wildlife.
A high hedge is defined as a line of two or more evergreen or semi-evergreen trees or shrubs, which is higher than two metres.
To report a high hedge dispute with a neighbour to the council, please follow our guidance on how to report anti-social behaviour.
If a private hedge is obstructing a public path, please email us at trees@lambeth.gov.uk.
For more information about high hedge complaints and the new legislation which allows the council to consider complaints, please see the government's high hedges guidance.
