Whatever is growing in a neighbour?s garden cannot be touched without their permission, unless it is overhanging into your garden in which case you are allowed to trim back to the boundary but legally must offer them back what you have cut.


If the tree is a protected species you cannot touch it and if your neighbour agrees you will require the services of a tree surgeon. If not protected then you need to negotiate with your neighbour.


There are maximum heights for hedges and so on but again these kinds of boundary issue can get heated. A lot will depend on your neighbours and how sympathetic they are.

I suspect there may be no statute law provision concerning overhanging trees. Whether statute or common law, it doesn't really matter here anyway: the OP is about "high hedges" and the blocking of light. About that, you could start at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-hedges-complaining-to-the-council/high-hedges-complaining-to-the-council and then, if relevant, see what Southwark's website has to say.

Hi Ronnijade,

sorry your post is not very clear.Whose property are they on? If they are in your garden then you need to find a tree surgeon for advice/quote. If in a neighbouring property, than the owner of the land. They may be not interested in doing s crown/height reduction of the trees. Do they undermine the structure of your or neighbouring homes? If they are very old trees they may have a protection order on them. You should be able to establish who the owner is via the Land Registry.

Hi all. I didn?t mean to offend anyone lol, and certainly wasn?t insinuating that I was going to cut down neighbours trees and chuck them over their fence...


Sorry if my post wasn?t clear. We have trees at the bottom of OUR garden that definitely need trimming down. Looks like we?ll have to contact a tree surgeon as you all have pointed out. Thanks for the helpful comments. :)

Wow, that's spooky !!

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
