The house over the back fence to me is on an end plot so has a bit of garden at the side stretching from front of his plot to the back where it abuts my rear garden (corner to corner really)

There three conifers planted in a line halfway down this side plot that have grown high enough they are level with the peak of his roof (30-40ft), in fact they're close enough that one of them is starting to overgrow the guttering.

This hedge is nowhere near any boundary with anyone else, it doesn't block my light as yet, but it does partially block my view. It's not much of a view but I'm in Essex so we have to take we can get :D

I'm tempted to suggest he gets them trimmed down a bit, especially as he's got the guttering downpipe for a row of houses and the trees are overgrowing it, but I think the current occupant is a tenant and would defer to the landlord who might not give a damn.
Do I have any legal recourse should the trees become a real nuisance in the future?
