Discovered today that a neighbour has cut some large branches from a tree in our garden and shoved them behind a shrub in the garden damaging the shrub.


I have no issues with the branches being cut as they block light, and understand that the branches remain our property, but was wondering if we should have been advised that they were about to do it? The branches will need a lot of breaking/chopping before they can be put in the recycling bin.


The neighbour is someone I see almost every day, and have a good relationship with, so while being disappointed by their actions want to bring it up in full possession of the facts. Is it just a matter of politeness, or should they legally have given us some notice?

Just keep your foliage in order, anyone can cut overhanging branches etc if over their property.

My neighbour did it recently, no words exchanged about it - just the usual banter. He just dropped the cut branches over 6ft garden fence at nearest spot, if it lands on my flowers etc I'd regard it as tough.

If he's going to the trouble of addressing my responsibilities I can't expect him to remove the foliage or set himself up for any comeback from me if don't like where he drops it.

No need for legal considerations just keep your bush trimmed !

I love you lady don't give a fuck with the woman you saw

Cheers Kid, wasn't dodging responsibility - would have been more than happy to deal with it had they mentioned it was bothering them. Will let them know that that can be the case in future - win/win for both of us then, no damage to anything and no one getting annoyed.

    • Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.

    • I don't think a single all-inclusive URL is easily doable.  When you enter a search the system presents the result without any of one's search parameters added to the URL.  So I suggest you go to https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=advanced where you just need to enter the address -- use SE22 8EW -- and the  Date Received start date.  I used 1/1/2025.  The three Tesco applications, all minor things, were all made in May.  The Simple search that I'd done previously had no time limit, and didn't include anything else that might have been from Tesco in the last two years. Incidentally, when I searched on the address 29-35 Lordship Lane it did not pick up the Tesco applications, which were held as 29 - 35 Lordship Lane Grrr!
