Simmo Hi all,

I,m seeking advice concerning the height of my conifers, A guy has just moved into a house at the end of my garden and has asked me if I will crop my trees to a more reasonable height, I am more than willing to do so but don,t want to lose the privacy that I currently enjoy, The trees are maybe 13ft - 14ft high at the moment and I could take them to maybe 9ft without too much problem, I am just wondering if the guy is within his rights to force me to taking them to the 2 metre point by law if he is not happy with the height I lower them to ? The trees are maybe 35 feet from his house and only 2 of them are across the end of his garden, his garden is open at both sides and so my trees are not preventing any natural light. The only complaint I can see him having is that he doesn,t get as much sunshine in the afternoon but thats 'sunshine' and not 'natural light'. He seems to be a decent enough guy so hopefully there will be no problem but I just need to know where I stand just in case..

Thanks very much

Dave


sorry we cant be of much help to u because u didnt mention where u are located . what might be a suggestion is contact the city or town where u are living and ask them to direct u to someone that could maybe help with any issues u might have concerning bylaws that could affect how high u can have your conifers. good luck. cyaaaa, sockiescat .
