Neighbour's tree encroaching
"Plum" wrote in message ... Our garden and the surrounding area contains lots of lovely old trees which are subject to protection orders. I've got council permission to trim back some of the lower branches of a big old yew tree which is leaning from the adjoining garden. Some of the branches come six feet or so over into our garden. The owner of the tree has also agreed to the branches being trimmed, but has said nothing about contributing to the cost. Should I just pay up and shut up, or should the owner contribute? Pay up and shut up! He is obliged to do nothing unless there is damage being caused to buildings etc. I've asked my neighbour to crown lift and thin a 35 foot walnut and cut back a once neatly trimmed holly. He sees the benefit to him as well as me and we are splitting the cost (£270) 50:50. In truth the neighbour has no say and no rights if you want to cut back the overhanging branches. You have done more than you are obliged to do. pk |
