    I've got a beautiful tree growing in the bottom corner of my garden that I love ,although it has grown to around 20ft which has caused a slight issue with one of our neighbours . I do thin it out regularly to allow as much light through as possible but I'm not cutting it down . I've said to our neighbour that he is welcome to cut the branches overhanging his side but its not coming down . I can feel a Swampy moment coming on .:D

    I bought a plot in Dodworth 2 years ago where I now live, with 2 large mature trees on it. A couple were interested in the plot next door, which also had 2 mature trees on it. They approached me and said they were going to apply for permission to chop down the 2 trees on their plot, and they said I would also have to chop mine down as they would block the sun in their garden. I told them I would oppose their application (the trees have a TPO on them), mine were staying up, and I was going to plant some more trees anyway.

    They didn't buy the plot. I love trees.

    Didn't know that.

    So if the apples fall on your land how can the owner of the tree get to his fruit?

    If the tree is on the boundary line consult your title deeds to see who owns/has responsibility for the boundary and maintaining boundary.
