neighbours tree

Yes, but thats not law, the law is unfortunately not based on wright or wrong or industry best practice.

 

Come on the client has already payed for the cutting, should they really pay for disposal too?????????

 

Yes, the client should pay for disposal, as once cut it has turned to waste, at the action of the client's instruction.

I dont get why this requires such lengthly debate, when we all under normal circumstances do the right thing & bang it through the chipper,at the expense of the client, who instructed the work be done, hence creating the responsibility to dispose of WASTE!

It is industry standard practice, if contracted to remove overhanging branches from a neighbors tree we chip & dispose at the expense of the client over who's land the branches hang, ( we are obliged to ask the tree owner if they want the arrisings, they rarely do).

Anyone arguing to the contrary is just misinformed, or argumentative.

 

Word.

 

For the record, I'd butcher half of it for £2k cash, but I'd need lots of tea, and chocolate digestives at around 10.15.

The branches are the property of the tree owner removing them without permission is theft. They are also part of the tree owners property and while they may leave is property for a short while for handling reasons they don't effectively leave his land.

 

How can that be fly tipping, would any judge convict you of fly tipping under those circumstances? Has anyone been convicted of fly tipping under those circumstances?

 

Continuing from that, it is accepted that recovering costs from a non actionable nuisance is as good as impossible the same cant be said for the disposal of the waste and there is no reason the offended party should bear the cost of disposal.

 

If the tree owner refused the return of the waste the other party can offer an action to recover the cost of disposal. Once that is made clear to the tree owner the likelihood of them declining is greatly reduced and the likelihood of an injunction is in the realms of the uberstubborn

 

If an arborist pruned trees for a council in a large park, then dumped the arisings in another part of the park, is that unlawful tipping?

 

What no judge would ever allow is the preventing of a person from quiet enjoyment of his land. To take things to an extreme, consider a person with a small garden that happened to have a very large tree growing in it, a large part of which overhang a neighbouring property. The tree owner comes home from work to find his entire small garden buried under a tonne of large branches. I know this is totally separate from fly tipping, but shows why, in my opinion, the law would not support dumping the waste in the tree owner's garden.

 

Back to fly tipping - as I understand the law it is the act of depositing a controlled waste (arb arisings are a controlled waste) in a manner other than is permitted. Who owns the waste may be useful evidence, but alone it does not determine the matter.

 

I am not certain that the tree owner does own the arisings. If he accepts ownership then clearly he does, but if he doesn't I'm not sure. I'm not aware of any case law on the matter either.

Mate that's free advice from a legal firms website, couched to keep them liability safe and designed to get you to call them so they can start charging you, its not the law that you promised.

 

The point here is that the arising's belong to the tree owner and, along with the tree are their legal and moral responsibility.

 

There is no reason the neighbour should have to pay for the disposal of the branches, so the tree owner should have them back or pay for the disposal particularly when that can be a major part of the job.

Ah, but would that include chip & remove waste for £2k?

I always feel happiest when the owner of the tree pays for its maintenance, it really annoys me when some little old lady on limited income is paying for the cutting and disposal of her wealthy neighbours overhanging trees!!!

Sorry MATE but I have a chipper so disposal is not a problem for me.

I have to disagree, when some wealthy neighbor asks me to cut the overhang off a tree owned by a little old lady on limited income, & expects her to pay for his action.
