Is there any legislation in Scotland to deal with high hedges?
A. The Antisocial Behaviour etc (Scotland) Act 2004 did not introduce any legislation to tackle problems relating to high hedges and there is currently no specific legislation in Scotland. The approach that should be taken to deal with these types of problems should be through mediation in an attempt to resolve issues as neighbour disputes, and dealing with any related behaviour problems (eg intimidation or harassment) by using other appropriate legislation if necessary.
