law on boundaries ?
Whilst your neighbour is legally allowed to remove both branches and roots
that invade/overhang his land HE IS NOT entitled to cause damage to the tree and actually should have first asked you to remove the trespass before he did anything himself In reality its time everyone remembered that its realy their resposibility to retain all plant growth of whatever kind within their own boundaries .........sadly this is something which has been forgotten and of course when it comes to Leylandi has caused real Neighbour Hell "bigjon" wrote in message ... Our rear garden backs onto the one opposite. We had a lovely young ( 12ft ) Snake Bark Maple in the centre of the back border. Our wonderful neighbour took it upon himself to trim all the growth over all his fences, including the leading shoot of our tree, which was slightly leaning over his fence ( about 10 degrees, and not casting any shadow, over his 12 x 6 shed roof ). This has reduced the tree to an upright trunk of about 6 feet and a top branch of about 6 ft that leans dramatically back into our garden at about 45 degrees. My questions - was he legally allowed to basically destroy a healthy tree in this way, as it did not cause any real problem to him, and should I remove the top branch to allow another to become the lead ? |
