A 65ft hedge is the subject of a bitter planning row between two neighbours in Kellas, near Elgin in Scotland.

The Press & Journal reports that the case is scheduled to go before Moray council's planning council on Tuesday, where councillors will decide whether the hedge should be trimmed.

In a report to the committee, planning officers recommended that it be cut short by 10 metres, under the High Hedges (Scotland) Act which was passed last year.

The trees that form the hedge are a mixture of sitka spruce, larch, silver birch and beech.
