overhanging trees
Whilst we enjoy the many benefits of having trees in our gardens, providing shade, bearing fruit and a home for wildlife, they can also become a nuisance for our neighbours when they start encroaching on the other side of the fence.
They can create problems including blocking out your light and shedding their leaves all over the garden. Therefore, it’s important to know what your rights are, the rights of neighbours, and what you can and cannot do.
