How long do things like that normally take? Our neighbour will not play ball is it a long and complicated legal process or quite simple if there is overwhelming proof? Thanks!

Hi sure that was just a mistake that I did not notice.

The 40cm were my words not his after I measured it looking at his report it says 300mm he is not quoting to have the tree removed! Thanks

It was a tree expert he said it was over the next thirty to forty years it is the prunus family

Exactly so what should I do / can I do? It has clearly knocked our walls/ walls over and will do the next one as it is set to double in size how do should I approach it!

No it is not definitely but it is in a conservation area!

You can but you need to (a) be sure that there is or imminently will be a legal nuisance and (b) take photos etc. to justify it after the event and (c) only do enough to deal with the nuisance. Don't get carried away, it's not a license to destroy.

 

Oddly enough, in Englandshire anyway, there is a requirement to notify the Council when exercising the dead or risky tree exemptions, but not for the nuisance exemption.

Hi Can you tell me how to deal with our neighbours tree!? It has already knocked our wall down and we have been advised by a tree expert that even if we build a reinforced concrete wall it will knock that one down too as it is going to double in size over the next 30 years currently the main stem is about 40in diameter and part of it is already in direct physical contact with the wall and has knocked the bottom of the wall! The main stem is 15 cm from the wall! How easy is it to get a tree removed that has already caused damage and will do again ? How long does it take and cost can the neighbours stop it from happening ? Currently we started a party wall process not realising that the surveyor could not do anything about the tree!
