I am writing to report damage to a fence on my property that appears to have been caused by a hedgerow growing from the adjacent land.

The hedgerow on the other side of the fence has become overgrown and is now pressing against the structure, resulting in visible damage. The situation seems to be worsening over time and may lead to further deterioration if not addressed.

I would appreciate it if the matter could be inspected and appropriate action taken to manage the hedgerow and prevent additional damage. Please let me know if you require any further information or access to the property to assess the issue
