But what does "maintain" mean? Trees grow. As long as they are healthy and not a danger, does anyone have a right to TV reception?

It is a protected service, but that is usually taken to mean against electrical/RF noise. A new warehouse caused severe ghosting on TV reception in our local town and I believe the developers ended up having to install Free-sat for everyone affected. That of course may be the cheapest solution for the tree owners, rather than pruning them.

Actually we are finding we don't watch so much TV at the moment, just nothing worth watching, nothing interesting, despite all the channels. Where are Panorama, Horizon, Time Team and similar programmes? -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

Forest of Leeds – Trees and the Law It includes this paragraph "You cannot compel a neighbouring landowner to manage their trees or to carry out tree work to your satisfaction unless you bring forward and win a civil action – you could consult an experienced solicitor to see if you have proper grounds to proceed with this. The Government has been considering introducing new legislation in this area, but this is not yet drafted."

If 'no' to both these questions, how far back was it that you had an extension fitted 'to overcome the problem THEIR trees was producing'? I have had quite a bit of success in winning battles with Local Councils which have ended with roads being 're-aligned' in two seperate case to get rid of surface water and in one case, planning permission NOT being granted on a piece of land the council wishes to sell for housing and has JUST been designated a Wildlife Area. I am more than willing to advise. Just email me. The secret is "the wording in the letter" ;-)) . |
