Clause 9 - Determination or withdrawal of appeals
High Hedges Bill

In certain circumstances, the aggrieved party might go to appeal because of the inspectorate's decision to issue a remedial notice following the failure of the local authority to do so. As I understand it, the owner of the hedge would then have no right of appeal against that remedial notice. It is worth considering the possibility of taking a second look at that, perhaps through a referral to the parliamentary ombudsman.
