Hedge/Boundary Neighbour argument

[nicholas4300]

Hedge argument-sleepless night
Our neighbour erected a close wood pannelled fence all the way down his boundary from top to bottom. (No issue with that). In doing so they wrote us a note saying that they would have to thin out the shared laurel hedge, which we had, two months ago (and after face to face consultation with neighbour) spent good money having pruned as it had become unmanageable (Neighbour was fine with that, no issue).
After returning home last Friday, the neighbour had completely removed a fence panel sized chunk out of one part of the laurel hedge (on our side of the boundary) and then erected the fence panel in that gap. This means that the view all along our boundary features lush green hedge...........then untreated fence panel nearest to our house. Grrrrr. What legal recourse do we have?
