Hi all, hope you are well.
I have quite a large oak tree (no TPO) that is on my land but close to the boundary.
It overhangs by quite a bit and is damaging the roof of a new building on our land.
My plan is to prune it back quite hard to fix the issue but I also need to prune the branches overhanging onto the neighbours land. Which is an open field nowhere near anybody's property.
Now, normally, I'd ask permission but we do not get on AT ALL!
What's the law regarding climbing our own tree to gain access to the branches overhanging a neighbours land. We have no intention of stepping foot on their land and the branches can be rigged, or use a telehandler to get them down safely.
Anybody have any experience of this?
My tree overhanging neighbours land, Can I prune it?

Because she's a nasty piece of work. She'd have no problem suing me for anything she could.
I also really need to be very careful not to damage the row of Leylandii she planted directly under the oak tree. Fingers crossed we can rig it nicely onto our own land in small sections without too much landing their way. I really don't want to take the whole tree out, it could be a couple of hundred years old.
Nah, she'd know the minute the chainsaw stated up and be over like a shot. I'll just pretend she's not there. Make sure my ear defenders are on all the time.
As you say, it's a civil offence and if I do no damage not sure she'd have a case.
She's accused me of killer her trees before. She planted a load and never bothered to water them and I got the blame.
