Evening all, looking for a bit of advice and some pointers as to where to go next. Summary - At the rear of my garden we have a boundary tree. The tree has two trunks. the fence has been built around the tree at some point, presumably the tree broke the fence in the past. the fence doesn’t line up as a result, the left side fence is further back than the right. Which means the boundary isn’t clear but we are taking about 30cms of depth, surely below any threshold for a surveyor, and has likely been there 20 years at least. the left trunk is 95% in my garden, the right trunk is 50/50. I wanted to cut the left one down but as a courtesy informed my neighbour in case it unbalanced the right trunk. He argued that the tree is his or at most 50/50 and is very passionate about not cutting any trees down. Ive cut all overhanging branches , so it just half a tree. how do I find out if I can or cannot cut the tree down? You are allowed to cut overhanging branches and roots , surely the whole tree is overhanging? Could I in theory cut every branch down as they grow from my side of the fence? ; leaving a branchless pole.
