We have an issue with our neighbour. We contacted them to ask them if we could discuss trimming a massive tree in their garden. To cut a very long story short, they are renting the property out and have no desire to trim it. It totally blocks the sunlight in our garden. As a result we have now established they actually don't own this piece of land. It is part of the road that backs onto our properties for parking/garages etc. they are looking to tend it for a period that means they can claim the land as theirs as they have fenced it off for five years to date. We have spoken to the council and they have told us they cannot do anything to assist us. Can we get advice if anyone has come across this sort of problem please.
Thank you
