Hi
I live in a house in a row of houses that back on to a field, our garden fence is at the boundary. The field owner has let the land on the other side of the fence grow wild (they have put a fence a few metres which is essentially the boundary of the "usable" field)
What right do I have to clear the overgrowth on the field side of the fence? My neighbour says we have the right to clear 1 metre, if the owner hasn't done it, but I'm dubious about that and haven't yet found anything official to support it.
The field has recently changed hands and I hope we can establish a mutually agreeable way to manage this, but it would be useful to know what my rights are.
Any insight appreciated
Thanks
