Ok, thank you!

Thank you for your help. I am not looking to gain anything from them putting up the fence, I was just bemused to see it and curious to it's height! The land deeds show the border of the caravan park as the hedge. The caravan park was indeed put on a field, although it's been here 50+ years now. The area is a rural village and the fence has consequently caught the attention of a few other neighbours. Everyone on the street own their properties, as does everyone on the caravan park so it's curious that elderly tenants can make such landscape changes - will the fence be considered permanent do you know, or will it leave when the tenants leave the property?

So are you saying that a border hedge is trespassing a neighbouring property by crossing the land border line? It doesn't need to encroach into their garden ie over the wall?

There was no fence before. They've stripped back the hedge and put up the fence - not sure why. So they can consider ground level as where they've put the fence?

There is no land border dispute, nor am I questioning whether I could grow the hedge out. This is to do with their rights to strip a party hedge back and the height of the fence. Do you know the answers?

My question is, where does the height of this new fence need to be measured from? Is it from their garden floor, or is it from the raised land behind their retaining wall (the caravan park sits .9m above their garden so the fence is level with my garden floor) on which the land border lies, ie where it is?

This is my garden - the fence has been put against my hedge on the other side. The neighbours are to the right of this picture.

No the fence runs along the land border. My property is to the left of the fence.

You can't see the hedge at all, it's behind the fence.

The floor of my garden is level with the top of their retainer wall, so no, the fence is 2 foot high to us - higher to them. You can only see their side in these pictures, and you can only see council land. The fence has been put along the land border as an extension to the side of their garden. The hedge used to sit up to the wall. My question is regarding the height of the fence and whether they had the right to conduct a partial removal of the hedge without approaching me.

I have a static park home which is located on the edge of a private residential caravan park. Adjacent to my property is a council owned house. Running along the land border, between our properties, was a hedge, which has always acted as a party hedge but is indisputably on the caravan park. The current council tenants have conducted a partial removal of the hedge and have erected a 2 metre fence along the land border - over their retaining wall. My park home has 2 doors and both face the hedgerow in question. My view is now of 6ft concrete girders holding the fence as there is so little hedge left. Toward the front of my property I have a fence of my own and the new fence is backing right onto it. No planning permission was sought from the local council and I was not made aware of any of their plans. My question, for which I'm struggling to get an answer, is where does the height of this new fence need to be measured from? Is it from their garden floor, or is it from the raised land behind their retaining wall (the caravan park sits .9m above their garden floor) on which the land border lies, ie where it is?
