My elderly relatives live in a small terrace of four houses which is set back from the road. Their nextdoor neighbour owns the path, they have right of access. Another neighbour immediately infront has a large tree in their back garden. In 1997 the tree was 6ft fence height. The tree has grown so big that my relatives can no longer see down the path,or into the street, the upstairs is gloomy. The tree canopy obscures the whole of the top of their house including the roof, and spreads the whole width of the path, putting the shrubs there in the shade, the telephone lines are entangled in it?. The roots of the tree are lifting the path up? The services run underneath.


We have requested numerous times to various owners of the tree that it is pruned to no avail. Didn't want it to turn into one of those expensive court hedge things !!


What can I now do?

Thanks people for your replies. I will contact the council for advice. I know I probably could get the offending half cut by tree surgeons, but probably at considerable expense, as the canopy is so large.


It used to be a pretty flower filled pathway, but as neighbours have come and gone (and my relatives are too frail to do anything), its full of bins, overgrown and quite neglected. Shame.

    • Another recommendation for Nick. Copying below the review I have just left for him on Google: We don’t usually leave reviews for people online but are making an exception for Nick. He made fitted wardrobes for our loft conversion and did an absolutely fantastic job. The wardrobes are beautiful. Nick is passionate about producing a quality product, and also one that is bespoke to his clients’ needs. He guided us through the design to establish how we would actually use the space and built something that is fantastic. From start to finish the process was quick and each day he and his assistant Sean left the space tidy. I’m not sure we are easy people to please so the fact we are leaving a 5* review (indeed leaving a review at all) speaks volumes about what a great job Nick (and Sean) did. Nick also built a cupboard for our downstairs bathroom as part of the job and again it is brilliant. We would recommend them to anybody. 
    • Just had a flatpack IKEA wardrobe put together by the dynamic Father & Son team (Victor & Carl) and over the years they have come to the rescue with their quality workmanship and all round great people to work with. https://www.handymaneastdulwich.co.uk Thank you once again.
