From what I remember of what happened to my cousin before, unless the neighbour had planted the hedging on your side of the wall, there is sod all you can do. You could trim it where it comes over the wall onto your side so that it is level vertically with the wall but that's it. Not sure the natural light aspect of it would think right to light applies to buildings only, not to garden?

Is it possible to speak with your neighbours and simply inform them of your concerns and ask if the bushes could be cut to a reasonable height?

try killing the plants by putting lime or something in the soil or offer to cut it. They may just be lazy

Don't do this.

If you have tried and failed to speak with your neighbours, then go to the people you are renting from. See what they have to say about it.
Dont think you have any legal standing about it once the hedge is on their side of the wall.
