My neighbours cut quite a significant amount of a birch tree which is in my garden but borders my neighbours property and our street.
They didn’t ask, I didn’t see them do it so I wasn’t able to consent to the works.
We live in a conservation area. I’ve called a tree company to ask them to quote how much it will cost to even the tree out. The tree company have stated that they won’t do any works without consent from the council (due to living in a conservation area). If I now apply for planning permission to sort out the bodge job done by the neighbours I will be reporting them for breaching the town and country act. If I don’t apply for PP I then have to find a (probably dodgy company) who are willing to do the work without consent and risk getting fined myself.
I’m cross with the neighbours for cutting the tree without discussing it with me first but even more cross that they have put me in such an awkward position.
