A couple who claimed their neighbour's 36ft hedge which had not been maintained for 11 years sent their energy bills soaring have now won a fight to have it chopped down.
Gary and Joanna Short insisted they had been left out of pocket over rising utility costs due to trees belonging to Eliza Wylie - claiming that she refused to do "the neighbourly thing".
They said trees between their properties in Renfrewshire, Scotland had ruined their enjoyment of their £500,000 family home.
