Maintenance of Trees in public area

    Hi there not sure if this is the right place for this post but somebody may be able to point me in the right direction.

    Ive just moved back into a house which I've had rented for the past 5/6 years. In this time the trees to the side of my house have gotten very over grown & at one point the side of my wall is beginning to collalpse.

    The house is at the end of a cul de sac and to the side of the house is a strip of land which is sort of no mans land. Then there is a wall which separates us from another estate. Its a mature housing estate from the 80s and is under the charge of the council as far as i know.

    So I'm wondering who is responsible for these trees. Do I need to contact the council? & can I have them cut back or removed myself or should they do this?

    Any help appreciated.

    are trees on your side of the wall, or in the 'no man's land'?

    if the former, 'tis your problem entirely, if the latter, I'd contact the council.

    If the trees are on the far side of your wall, you can cut back overhanging branches that overhang your property as long as their removal dosn't lead to the demise of the tree. Return the branches.

    As the trees are causing damage to your wall (property) then the owner would be obliged to sort it out. You will need to find out who owns the no mans land.

    You can get a copy of the folio here:
