I have an enormous laurel hedge that must be trimmed before it blows down.

What is the best way to go about it: do I cut it back a lot or just trim?
If I cut into it ruthlessly will it grow back bushy? What is the best time
of year.  It is the beginning of spring in the UK.

Direct e-mail answers preferred.

Thanks in advance
