As I have been informed they can try to come in, you tell them to jog on and then they need to go to court to gain access, remembering we are talking about pruning trees there fore once you have cut back to the boundary the nuisance no longer exists 

if you are right then there was no need for the high hedges legislation as you would just be able to pop next door and cut it down.

It seems you are correct . You can just go round and do it provided you tell them that is what you are going to do ?

That is how it seems.. It is not something i would choose to get involved in though, not unless it was to do witrh people next door to me.. What i mean is, if i was an arb worker like you lot, i would walk away, not worth the trouble. Not sure if a third party like yourselves COULD get involved, I think it is only the owner of the land themselves that has a right to abate... Best left alone i would think..

You have a right to abate whether they like it or not.. If they tried to stop you i would imagine that they would find themselves arrested for assault and/or battery.. The relevance to trees, means that in order to trim the trees to the boundary, you most certainly CAN climb the tree or place a ladder on "their" side if this is needed..

 

I think the idea fo the high hedges this was it gave you a right to have a thing removed that was not trespassing on your land. I do not think you could have claimed that the high hedge was a nuisance either, as i am not sure that you actually have a right to light.. So far as i can remember, any right to light you did have, could be extinguished as the tree owner could say that the tree had blocked your light for many years. You see, so far as i can remember, you can gain an easement to retain a nuisance, in the same way as you can creat an easement that consists of a right of way.,

 

The high hedges act means you do not have to let things get this far..
