legal hieght for lleylandii

is there a maximum hieght for lleylandis , the house at the back of mine has tree right up against the fence , so not only are they overhanging my property - they also overhang 3 other neighbours as well so it's not just a case of just hacking back my bit , is there a maximum height before they are considered a nuisance and have to be chopped

    'The powers to deal with complaints about high hedges contained in part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 ("the Act") and the High Hedges (Appeals) (England) Regulations 2005 ("the Appeal Regulations")5 make provision for local councils to determine complaints by the owners/occupiers of domestic property adversely affected by evergreen hedges over 2 metres high.' but take note:
    The law does not require all hedges to be reduced to, or maintained at, a height of 2 metres.

    From this link:

    useful if you're England, I think - law may be different elsewhere. Hope this helps.

    Just cut it. LOL. I do. Neighbours stupid plants come over often and pushing against on of the fences. Their stupid neighbour's dog also rams the fence as well.

    Cut the plant.

    I feel for people like that. This world is messed up. We just hate our neighbours. LOL.
