Lelandi problem (sort of!)
In article , Sacha
writes Philip11/5/04 9:08 (Robbie) wrote in message . com... Wonder if anyone can help me here. My next door neighbour moved in last year after the previous neighbour was evicted for various tenancy breaches. Just before the previous neighbour left, they planted what I can only imagine to be a leylandi shrub. That was last July, and now the shrub / tree is over 8 foot tall. Whilst the neighbour is fine, he doesn't want to cut the shrub (he reckons it looks spectacular!) and it looks like by the end of this summer it will be dwarfing our 4 foot fence by some considerable height! snip You might want to post this to uk.legal, or even just do a search on uk.legal because like the Elvis Costello sang some years ago "theres no such thing as an original sin". From memory I think you are allowed to cut off branches which over-hang your property, but you must be prepared to give them to your neighbour as they are his. I thought legislation had recently been brought in to restrict such high growing trees. Leylandii can go to 100' tall and heaven only knows what width. They should never be planted in small gardens, or even medium sized gardens, unless the owner plans to severely restrict their growth. Isn't that only for hedges though Sacha? which is why its called the high hedges bill. I'm not sure if this will be a Leylandii though, the impression is that this has grown a lot since last July, not the normal behaviour of a newly planted Leylandii as I know from trying to infill with them. -- David |
