lentenrose61 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have a neighbour joining my garden, a sanctuary tenant, who's tree is enourmous and overgrown. This tree puts my garden in the shade from noon. Can anyone advise me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Have you approached, either the neighbour or sanctuary? I presume that's a housing association? You could preliminarily call the planning department and ask if it's a listed tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lentenrose61 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 It is a sycamore tree and I did contact Sanctuary who is the landlord , by phone, didn't hear from then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 So did you try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dell12 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Your probably well within your rights to cut down what's hanging down over your side. Otherwise i'd try speaking to then landlords again, they may well agree for the whole tree to be taken down/trimmed so as it needs less maintenance in the future.

Saffy Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Am pretty sure you can cut down whatever is hanging over into your garden .. then take the bits you have cut off to them ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notbusy Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Id find out the laws on cutting sycamore trees. Not 100% sure but i heard there could be a fine if you do this without permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It depends on whether there's a tree preservation order on it - and a lot of trees have them now. Other than that, you'd be within your rights to cut down all the bits of the tree that overhang your garden, but you have to give them back to your neighbour as they belong to him.

Don't bother asking your neighbour, they obviously have no right to choose what they have in their garden because they don't own their home You can't cut the the tree down just because you want some sun, it's bad for the environment. If you want some sun why don't you just go to the beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
