My Neighbours tree overhangs my property. What are my rights?
The law states that you are entitled to cut back branches from overhanging trees to the boundary line but does not allow you to trespass. It is always best to discuss the problem with the tree owner and come to agreement. It may be beneficial for the tree to receive a crown lift or reduction as opposed to cutting back just the offending branches. It is recommended to complete tree works in accordance with good arboricultural practice. Poor tree work can be counterproductive and is often potentially dangerous.
