Skip contents

When you can appeal

Your council makes decisions about hedgerow notices.

You can appeal against a decision if they鈥檝e sent you either:

  • a retention notice, saying you cannot remove a hedgerow
  • a replacement notice, telling you to replace a hedgerow you鈥檝e already removed

Only the person who made the application can appeal.

There鈥檚 no fee for appealing.

Deadline for appealing

You must appeal within 28 days of the date on the council鈥檚 notice.

When you can expect a decision

Once your appeal is validated, you鈥檒l normally get a decision within 31 weeks.
