A neighbour has a large tree which blocks out much of the sunlight from my
garden. Also, our house had to be underpinned a few years ago and trees
were quoted as a contributing factor. This tree is about 20 feet from the
house, so I'm concerned about future problems. I haven't approached them
yet, I wanted to find out what the position is before I did so, as I suspect
they will not take kindly to being asked to pay a big tree surgeon's bill!

many thanks,

John


As far as the sunlight, light or views are concerned, there is very
little you can do about it, except talk nicely to your neighbour, but as
far as the damage to your house is concerned, talk to the Insurance
Company you have your House, not Contents, but House insurance with.

'They' will be very interested and 'might' take up the battle with you,
if it comes to that.

???Is there a 'Tree Preservation Order' on the tree? :-(( if there is,
but not a surmountable problem

Been there, done that, got the tree shirt.
