Basically, you have the right to cut back both the branches and roots up to the boundary but if the tree becomes unstable or causes damage then you may be found liable for the consequences. If the tree is causing damage to your property or causing you expense then you have the right to seek costs.
Good luck with that one...legal fees are ridiculous at best and only favour the legal trade.
The best solution is probably to mediate with the neighbour but this can often be fractious if the neighbour is a bit of a bell end.
If he is a bit of a clapper, so to speak, best to hit him with an option he really doesn't like and to negotiate back to the solution that you really want.
So...start with felling the fecker and mediate back to a heavy pollard!!
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.

I don't think you're going to get a straight answer to that one.
Thanks... even some sense of how these things tend to play out would be helpful....

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!
Right to prune branches when it destabilizes tree.

Why might I lose the right to self-abatement?
