Received a section 154 notice about an overhanging hedge or tree in Ramsgate? What to do

A hedge or tree growing over the road or pavement can lead to a council notice under section 154 of the Highways Act 1980, which allows 14 to 28 days to cut it back. Read what the notice means and what to do next.

What we do

Four services. No upselling.

Specified for the thin chalk-and-Thanet-Sand soils under most Ramsgate gardens, the salt spray that hits the cliffs on an easterly, and the single Ramsgate Conservation Area that covers most of the town centre and cliffs.

Neatly trimmed formal hedge with crisp clean lines

Routine hedge cutting

Annual or twice-yearly cuts on privet, yew, hornbeam, Griselinia, Elaeagnus and laurel. Clean lines, all arisings cleared, no power tools after 6pm out of respect for neighbours.

Height & width reduction

Overgrown hedges brought back into proportion. Includes staged leylandii work on the exposed cliff-top plots where a one-shot cut into brown wood would kill the plant.

How we reduce safely

Why local matters

Ramsgate hedges aren't generic hedges.

Most of Ramsgate sits on Upper Chalk overlain with the Thanet Formation, pale glauconitic sands over the chalk basement, thin alkaline topsoil, drought-prone in summer, low water retention year-round. The seafront and both cliffs get direct salt spray on an easterly. Behind the Regency terrace it's a different game entirely: sheltered walled gardens where the species palette opens right up.

We work to that variation, not against it. Elaeagnus and Griselinia on the exposed cliff-top plots. Yew and Ilex crenata in the sheltered walled gardens. Native mix on the Pegwell and Sandwich flanks. And a tape measure on any stem near the 75mm conservation-area threshold before we touch it.

In the Ramsgate CA?

We handle the paperwork.

Much of central Ramsgate sits inside one of Thanet District Council's conservation areas (Ramsgate, Ramsgate Royal Esplanade, Ramsgate Montefiore and Pegwell), so check your address on the council map. Any tree with a stem over 75mm at chest height needs six weeks' written notice to Thanet DC before pruning. We file the section 211 notice on your behalf, included in every quote.
