Neighbour's tree encroaching

wrote: 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? Tell me about protection orders. Something like being designated a historical site? In the US, and elsewere as far as I've been able to determine from these discussions, anything overhanging one's property 'belongs' to that property. However, since it's *you* who wants it cut, I don't see why *he* should pay. Ex-(fortunately) neighbors sheared a pretty dogwood tree precisely along the property line, which was presumably their right. Had they asked for me to *pay* for this, I'd've...done something outrageous. |
