southeastastra · 19/07/2008 19:54

I'm pretty sure you can cut off the bits that overhang your garden. If they form a hedge, then there are rules as to how high they are allowed to grow.

I just found the idea of legislating tree heights quite funny.

When were the trees planted, before or after you moved in? What kind of trees are they?

ib · 19/07/2008 19:59

Sorry, x post. Are they deciduous or evergreen?

southeastastra · 19/07/2008 20:04

I'm a bit concerned - my next door neighbours' horse chesnut doesn't look too healthy. Is there some sort of disease they're suffering from?
