Hi everyone,
Our neighbour has a rather tall tree that is approximately 2.5 meters away from our kitchen extension. We only purchased the house a few months ago and I didn't notice it at the time (naive first time buyer!). I am now worried that it will cause problems with the foundations in the future. I want to talk to my neighbour about it but would like to get my facts straight first. The previous owner built our extension three years ago under permitted development. I'm not sure if this will muddy the waters as my neighbours tree was possibly there before our extension!
Where do I stand on this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a photo taken from upstairs overlooking the extension roof.
Thanks,
Paul
