Answer

Evidence to resolve a high hedge problem between parties will take a variety of forms but may include records of discussions or attempts at discussion between the parties or copies of letters sent to the hedge owner by a complainant in which they have explained the issues and problems the hedge causes for them. Where appropriate, it may also include records of meetings attended by the parties and facilitated by mediation service providers.
