Write a letter about a high hedge or structure blocking my light. Details I will supply: neighbor [NEIGHBOR_NAME], hedge or structure [DESCRIPTION], effect [EFFECT], measurements [MEASUREMENTS], request [REQUEST]. The draft must give measurements, ask for a trim by a date, and offer a shared cost. Give measurements of the hedge or structure and the effect on light, attach dated photos, propose a trim to a stated height by a given date, and offer to share the cost. Say that I will check the local rules on hedges and neighbors before taking any further step. Facts and papers worth gathering: dated photos of the hedge against a measuring pole, the loss of light to specific rooms at specific times, any earlier chat, and whether a local rule or covenant limits height. Remedies that are usually on the table: a trim to an agreed height this season, a shared plan for upkeep, and a friendly follow-up date. A typical reply: "It gives us privacy." Answer by suggesting a height that still gives privacy and offering to share the gardening cost. Their response is pasted as [THEIR_RESPONSE]. For the hedge height or light obstruction letter, summarize their reply in a table of claims, gaps, and opinions, then draft my response letter. Return the finished letter together with a cover note of roughly 60 words, next an if-ignored ladder (mediation, then local planning or council, then legal advice), then a list of exhibits (photos, measurements), and one records tip. Send it by certified or registered post with proof of delivery, and keep the receipt and a scan of the letter. Begin by listing the facts you still need and highlight what would fail without evidence. Compose the letter as myself, not on anyone else's behalf, with no lawyer or firm voice, and skip any letterhead I did not give you. Quote no law, case or time limit that I did not supply; lean only on [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and tell me to verify the exact law with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. Make it firm without heat, threatening nothing unlawful, and set any date from [DEADLINE] and no other. I need wording to review, not a legal opinion, so point me to a local advice service if the sum or the risk is large.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Tran, Over the past two years the hedge along our shared fence has grown to about 4 metres (photo attached) and now blocks the morning light to our kitchen. We would like to ask if you would trim it to around 2 metres this autumn. We are glad to share the cost of a gardener. Could we talk this week? Warm regards, the Alberts at No. 12 Cover note: if you cannot agree, a local mediation service can help before any formal step.
