Conifers

[EYEBROWS]

I've got some 20 foot conifers dotted in the gardens around the loft, I was wondering what the legislation is regarding them, I used to have a good view of the birds on their arrival but over the last couple of years i've found myself peering around these conifers, They are not taking any light but are causing me a problem, Any help/advice is appreciated Thanks Eyebrows

[Guest joshdonlan]

just trim the tops off them with hedgecutter, no problems at all

if they are in your garden the cut them down but if they are in neighbours gardens ask them or offer to take the tops out.

[Back garden fancier]

Yes, are they yours or the neighbours?

[sapper756]

yes, I believe there is a legal height that these need to be, request your neighbour to trim them to the legal height, or offer to do so yourself

[just ask me]

these things should be banned from growing fair enough if u live on your own with no houses around but apart from stopping light they put green all over the place when it rains

I was led to believe that you should ask your neighbour first, if they refuse to reduce the height you can let the council take over but you have to give the council £500 to take it up, if you win and they have to reduce the height you get your £500 back !!!!!

[Guest shadow]
