High Hedges (Scotland) Act 2013

High hedge notices

Section 5 – Dismissal of application

11.This section provides that the local authority must dismiss an application if it considers the applicant has not taken all reasonable steps to resolve the high hedge dispute without involving the authority, or if it considers that the application is frivolous or vexatious. Whether an application is frivolous or vexatious will turn on the particular circumstances, but may include the situation where someone has repeatedly applied (unsuccessfully) to the local authority without there being any change in circumstances which would affect the local authority’s decision.

12.If the local authority dismisses an application it must, under subsection (2), inform the applicant as soon as is reasonably practicable, giving reasons for its decision.
