Neighbours trees driving me mad

Our next door neighbour’s trees are hanging over our fence and blocking loads of light into our kitchen. I’ve asked them several times to cut them and we get on well but they’ve ignored my pleas. What can I do? Am I within my rights to hack down whatever is in my garden? |

Oh jeez this is such a tricky one. You don’t want to fall out with your neighbours but at the same time, you don’t want to live in the dark! According to the CAB, by law you’re allowed to cut down branches that are hanging over your garden as long as you return them to your neighbour. You’re not however allowed to enter their property without permission – this is trespassing. I’d make a joke out of it to avoid any bad feeling and just cut the ones in your garden down. |
