My neighbour’s overhanging tree could fall on my property. What can I do? | Home | The Sunday Times

My next-door neighbour has a huge ash tree which has ash dieback. There are several large limbs overhanging my garden, greenhouse and sitting area. If it continues to die, which is almost a certainty, it may fall on my garden and house. Every time we have a strong wind, small branches fall over my garden and courtyard area.

I have asked my neighbour to deal with it, but I know he won’t. I asked him for six years to cut back his leylandii trees, which are within 10ft of my window and were making my living room dark. I had to arrange to do it myself in the end. The man who cut them down to a reasonable level threw the branches onto his garden
