Very tall evergreen hedges can sometimes lead to formal complaints between neighbours, but the rules are more involved than a simple height limit.
The general position
Where a serious dispute exists over a hedge causing a significant loss of light or reasonable enjoyment of a property, local-authority procedures may apply, typically as a last resort after attempts to resolve things directly.
The practical alternative
From a practical point of view, regular hedge management is far easier and considerably cheaper than allowing a hedge to become enormous and dealing with the consequences afterwards - for both the hedge owner and their neighbours.
