Morning all
I'm just about to start a job for somebody + would appreciate a bit of advice on something I've not come across before.
Client has a house they're wanting to extend to the side, front + rear. Problem is to the side of the house a neighbour's tree canopy is overhanging/encroaching into the potential area of the extension. It's a mature tree with a canopy of approx 5-6 metres. It sits directly on the other side of the client's boundary fence, no idea if it's TPO'd or if there's any other restrictions.
I have very limited knowledge of tree's + legally what the process is with this type of thing. I presume we make the planning app (council will propably ask for a tree survey to be done as the works will effect the tree in question) and then the council's tree officer will ask the tree be trimmed back?
Any ideas much appreciated?
