The owner of a hedge at the centre of a 20-year row between neighbours has been ordered to lower it by 30cm despite saying he already halved its original height.
East Lothian planners issued a High Hedge Notice on its owner after neighbours failed to reach agreement about its height.
And they revealed that the issue had been going on for more than 20 years involving "letters, emails and discussions with East Lothian Council's mediation service".
