High hedges, daylight and sunlight: final report
- Published: N/A

Summary
A technical report, published in July 2001, explaining
how the Hedge height and light loss guidelines were
originally developed. It discusses the rationale underpinning
the calculations used to assess whether an evergreen hedge is
blocking too much daylight and sunlight to neighbouring
properties.
A subsequent Review of guidance on hedge height and
light loss of the guidelines, published on 30 March 2004,
amended some of these principles and the detail contained in
Hedge height and light loss.

our former department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister
