The proximity of these trees does not make them a hazard. Have they been inspected ?

You could have the trees inspected by a qualified arborist and a report written. If the report indicates that the trees are in a dangerous condition you could present this to the local council - they have powers to deal with these issues when the land owner is absent or not known and there is a genuine threat/danger.

Thank you for the information and the link

Anything could be dangerous if it falls.  Some things are more likely to fall than others. Literally billions of trees don't fall over every single day.

What specifically worries you about these ones? It's tricky to gauge their health from that short video.

Any other pictures available? 

I think its the fact that there are more risks of storms than before, height of them and branches actually coming over to my house - I will try and get some pics up for you to get clearer picture of them.

It is a valid point, at the moment and while the trees are healthy just in case it takes longer than you think I'd make sure the house insurance covers it.

Yes I take that on board - I have this in place - thank you kindly

So you can cut the trees back to your boundary no problem - you are allowed to do that.

 

Most land will be registered to someone - if it is not council land it could still belong to a developer and not transferred to anyone else yet? (depends how old the houses are). I assume you have had a look at the land register to see who owns the land?

 

If it is a conservation area, is there someone who manages that? They should know who owns what, or is the land unmanaged?

I have been in touch with Land registry - who have informed me according to their data no-one owns it and is unregistered. However a neighbor is claiming part of it - unfortunately just not these trees at the front of my house (convenient for them)

I am literally going around in circles with this one 

I am hoping that someone is able to advice please. We have some trees overhanging and are dangerous should they fall. They are situated opposite my house in a conservation area, but are on unregistered land, and the council will not touch it as they say its on private land. They do not have TPO.

Where can I get help to get these trees cut back so they don't fall on my house!!!
