A little advice please

It's highly possible that the client is the cockwomble, not the neighbour, and the OP might be able to just talk to the neighbour without any issues. No harm in trying and the OP can always walk away if the job looks like a PITA.

As I understand it, you are obliged to offer the arisings back but they aren't obliged to take them. If you just put it back on their property, you would be guilty of flytipping.

 

You can place it over there boundary as long as you dont trespass or cause any damage.

If you ask if they want it and they say no and you put it over that's fly tipping.

Yes please...

 

Ah, you only need to ask

Just did!

It is a bad idea to give it back without asking, for obvious reasons, unless you want grief, and like upsetting people.

Personally I would have spoken to the neighbour and tried to come up with a solution that suits.

Apparently the placing of a risings back is a Charles Mynors thing

The 16 th of January2016 will be suitable for us. However you will not be able to gain access onto the neighbouring property to carry out your work.

 

OK, so that's the date the neighbour's on holiday or up in front of the beak on a GBH charge etc...

Okay, maybe I didn't explain myself very well.. The neighbour WANTS the arisings. The only thing they own is the overhanging holly. Everything else is in the customers garden. I will be doing the job regardless.. She wanted the quote itemised and has gone for the lot so will turn out to be a nice little earner, and as I have said time and again on here, I do not have the luxury of turning away work, no matter how difficult or inconvenient it may be I have an obligation to put food on my child's table and pay the mortgage. Should I knock?

Are you sure the neighbour wants the arisings back, or is this what your client is telling you?

90% sure.. I quoted this a while back and we have been in comms for a while regarding the job as it's currently a building site (which is prob why the neighbours are pee'd off). I only emailed her to change the date by a week and that's the response.
