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 !!

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
