I've got Ash trees overhanging my garden by a third. If I cut these back to my border there won't be much left as they are growing towards the sun over my garden.
The land which these trees are growing belongs to our county council. They have inspected them and are saying they are not legally obliged to cut them back. But I can get them done myself and toss the branches over onto thier side of the border.
If this is so, do I need a licence to cut them back using machinery and ladders etc. otherwise its going to cost a packet to get someone to do it. These trees are some 30ft tall and some of the branches are dying and break off in the winter gales.
