FUMING homeowners say their neighbour's towering 13ft hedge blocks the sun and leaves their homes freezing - so they dumped a surprise on his doorstep as revenge.When the council declined to take action, the neighbours took matters into their own hands - by hacking the the hedge down to size themselves.
Now the three neighbours have won an appeal, with planners ordering Mr Rice to trim the hedge down to three metres in height.But Mr Rice argued that it was "unreasonable for anyone to expect full sunshine all day long". He added that the towering hedge stopped his family "better enjoying our outdoor area for relaxing, socialising or exercising" - and that it made his conservatory "frequently cold and dull to sit in".
