Charlie scribbled:

Well, I live with my Dad and he owns the house. We've owned the
house for 16 years and these were planted about 6 months before we
moved in. You don't need a 16ft barrier between two properties, even
if one is a pub - a 7ft one is fine! Around 25% of our garden is
blocked by shade by these trees, including our greenhouse and our
fruit bushed (which still seem to do remarkable well, even if they
are 15 year old black current and loganberries!). Trust me, we WILL
NOT regret cutting these awful trees down! They're currently also
pushing over our boundary fence with the pub, almost allowing our
dogs to escape.

The sooner they bring laws in governing these terrible trees, the
better!

Thats a more complete story,.
Can't understand why you waited so long.
