High hedges
High hedges are a common source of dispute, typically due to blocking light.
As a rule of thumb, a high hedge is legally classed as a barrier to light, formed of two or more evergreens, that rises over two metres above ground level.
Official legislation, High Hedges (Jersey) Law 2008, is available on the Jersey Legal Information Board website where you can also access previous versions.
The full legal definition of a high hedge is outlined in section four.
