Why might I lose the right to self-abatement?

Thank you- sounds clear as mud (not aimed at you, just describing the general situation...) This is going to be fun. He thinks its TPOed (its not) and that he's in a conservation area (he's not.) If I start with 'how about we cut it down' he's going to tell me its illegal... Fun fun fun.

Thanks... even some sense of how these things tend to play out would be helpful....

70 feet or so...

I've got a neighbouring tree which is 3/4 over my land (its right in a corner of the neighbours plot, so most of it branches are over me.) I'm sure that if I cut back all the branches over my land the remaining tree will be unstable. The neighbour is ... convinced that the trees must remain and not be pruned. How do we resolve this? Either my right to cut branches over his land must be curtailed, or some of the branches on his side need to get cut (or the tree gets destabilized...) but from google it really isn't clear to me what the 'default' legal solution is. Thanks!
