My neighbour is cutting down/pruning a tree in his garden. Has he permission?
If the tree does not come under any protection cover, then no permission is required, unless:- a) The tree is on a joint boundary or the workmen require access to adjoining property to carry out the job, then the permission of the other party is required with respect to civil law. b) The tree is so large and mature that the work, particularly felling, poses potential dangers to property and land and therefore would require clearance and guidance under Health and Safety Regulations.
He would need written permission with respect to the first answer. If it does not come under any protection cover, then no permission is required, unless :- The tree is on a joint boundary or the workmen require access to adjoining property to carry out the job, then the permission of the other party is required with respect to civil law. The tree is so large and mature that the work, particularly felling, poses potential dangers to property and land and therefore would require clearance and guidance under Health and Safety Regulations.
