Boundary trees to be cut by neighbour

[eanswythe]

 

As for monitoring this was done in summer 23 and a demand to cut trees was issued at end of November 23 but the letter was not received.

'there is downward and rotational movement to the rear left hand elevation and front right hand corner of the property.' 

So that would be by the swimming pool and by the cedar tree. 

 

I have discovered from the household files this is the same complaint they made in 2007.  downward and rotational movement to the rear left hand elevation and front right hand corner of the property. At that point the trees were reduced and they were reduced again in the subsequent years up until 2017. They were due for further reduction but COVID-19 interrupted.

 

There us no afternoon sun here today as the cedar blocks the light to our rooms which are arranged along the rear of the building.

Ok, so they have had a drains survey, have they included trial pits in the site investigations? 

I would be very surprised if their cedar isn't a major factor in the movement throughout the property. I am struggling to understand why they are keeping that tree.

Your cypress trees are within influencing distance of their property but I would be inclined to push for positive root ID, proof of desiccation, and seasonal movement before I felled them. 

Do you have copy of the report they have sent? (Redact the personal information before posting if so).

Could the digging of the pool be a factor ?
