    If it's a genuine road safety issue, the roads section of your local County Council will generally authorise hedge cutting outside the normal season.
    Otherwise, you may wait until September 1st.

    I was planning on clearing a few feet of briars from in front of one ditch there over the summer sometime.
    It's not truly ditch, so I assume I'm ok am I? :confused:

    I'm pretty sure it all counts as 'habitat', so I'd say it'd very much depend on the circumstances.
    If it's clearing sight-lines at field entrances or the front of the house or the like with hand tools, I doubt there'd be any great problem.
    If it involved a tractor and hedgecutter, I'd be shy of doing it without an official go-ahead.
