well if its just a few branches then u can cut them down if u so wish, if not call the council and complain.

I'm the same m8.

Guy accross from me has a big evergreen tree, one of those that stink too. It even hangs over into our garden and covers the sun at about 5pm.

Cut the overhanging bit of it with a hedge trimmer last year, need to see him about it this year though.

It even had a bee hive in it a couple of years ago.

 

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

firstly congrats on elite status taffy

the tree is property of your neighbor but branches hanging over are not and can be trimmed properly
the only sure fire way is to contact the council and ask

:roflmao:

My mum & dads neighbor had a tree that used to bring down their telephone line in high winds so one year we asked if he could trim it down, he said he would but done nothing about it. One day me & my dad took a saw to it and totally cleared the the overhang. The neighbor never said a thing. It's your right to do what ever is in your property?

It's your right to do what ever is in your property?

Absolutely mate, let them take the cuttings to the dump?

yeah, as mentioned above. You can trim anything that overhangs your property, but you have to give them the buts back for some bizzare reason!

If you don't give the bits back you can be charged with theft, only cut the bits overhanging your fence and then throw them over the fence,strange but true..

that explains that then.....

Its called stealing that bizarre reason mate. lol

The best way to get rid off a tree is to say the roots are damaging your house. Most insurnce companys will send a bloke who will order it to be cut down.

put your clock forward a few hours, itll take a few days to adjust but then you can enjoy the garden and by the time the sun gets blocked out itll be bed time roud:
