Boundary Line Tree Cutting
Hi hoping someone can help!
I have a tree at the back of my garden. It does overhang my rear neighbours boundary. He trimmed it back last summer and threw the cuttings onto my land. I dealt with the cuttings and thought no more of it.
Around 3 weeks ago he cut back a bush along the same boundary but this time proceeded to go around a metre beyond the boundary in to my land, once again he dumped the cuttings in my garden. At this point I went to see him to explain I wasn't happy that he had gone beyond boundary and obliterated the bush. At this point he raised the issue that the tree was blocking his light and what was i going to do about it?! I said to him as far as I was aware he had every right to cut it back to his boundary and i offered to give him a hand.
I have returned home tonight and he has had another go at the tree and has once again gone beyond the boundary.
My question is what is the process he should follow when cutting the tree back to his boundary. I have read various things online but there is conflicting info. Some suggest that he should inform me of his intentions and ask me what i want doing with the cuttings, otherwise it is technically fly tipping? Other sources suggest he can just cut it back and he must return the cuttings.
Hopefully someone here can confirm either way.
Thanks in advance,
Ross
