Literally... no pun intended!
Next to our house (on our side) we have a row of very tall conifers. They are probably 25-30ft tall. They block a lot of light from our house and garden. The view from our living room sofas is literally 100% conifer. I want to cut them back to fence height.
Last time we had them trimmed, the neighbour stopped our tree surgeon and said he mustn't cut them any further because it impacts his privacy. I know he has no right to do this but we didn't make a fuss as didn't want to sour relations. Trimming them down to fence height would mean we could see into his garden from our bedroom windows, and through the roof of his conservatory. The way our houses face, the trees don't impact the neighbour's light at all, so from his perspective their existence is only positive. Whereas for us, it's pretty negative!
AIBU to give them a radical haircut?
