Does anyone know if there is a law concerning height and width of trees.
I have a very small garden, but immediately at the back of my garden right up against my fence is the tree from hell. Don't get me wrong i love trees, but this is roughly 40 to 50 feet high and about 15feet wide in summer, my house is really small and it completely covers the WHOLE of my house in shade all day long.
There are no other houses at the back of me so it is only me that it bothers, the tree belongs to the church at the back of my house.
I am partially disabled and often suffer with pain, so to sit in my garden in the sun would be a godsend to me, but i never ever get the sun as this tree completely blocks it out, but also the whole of the back of my house is in the shade all year round. All the bedrooms etc are dark because of thsi.
I did have the tree lopped last year, but it appears that they only lopped the lower branches, the tree needs to be largely thinned out and the height brought down much lower.
The tree is a conker tree so it protected, but it is making things difficult for me.
Any ideas of what i can do.
