Neighbour won’t let me cut down my own tree?

There are some trees close to the boundary, but nobody seems concerned about them in any way.

So what you’re saying is that if there’s a tree on your side, you have no issue with your neighbour chopping it down?

OP has nipped down to his local Co-op to buy a meat pie, he will be back with an update shortly, complaining about how expensive his meat pie was.

Don't be silly ,he asked next door's son's advice first and was told "meat is murder" ,so went back indoors.....

I've only just seen the OP's Co-OP thread.....

“Tree police”? That’s the first I’ve ever come across such a branch?
Does their remit cover shrubbery too?

No, I'm saying that there are some trees close to the boundary (some belonging to us, others belonging to our neighbours) and nobody seems inclined to alter them in any way. If a neighbour were to interfere with any of our trees without prior discussion and agreement, apart from trimming anything that overhangs on their side, I would definitely have an issue with that; but our relationships are such that I feel there's very little danger of that happening. HTH.

Oh dear, is it parrot time again? Never mind.

Thinks: I wonder if I'll ever understand this 'parrot' thing.
Answer: Probably not.

I’ve been whooshed many times myself.

Yours was a combination of 1) the fact that the OP himself implied that the tree was planted on his neighbours side and 2) Cathy Newman v Jordan Peterson

[j4ckos mate]

sure if its yours its yours to do with what you want

id carry on regardless,

we had a neighour issue a few monthas ago

his excrement eating dog enjoyed peering over a fence so the panel was replaced,
he went into a rage, he wanted the old one back, which he got and the new higher one is still in its place to this day,

we havent spoke since, although were not bothered in the least,

i dont think it was the fence i think hes a bit mental he has to park his car in a particuilar positiion
so naturally i try to make it awkward for him

Oh hell, further complications. What do Cathy N and Jordan P have to do with it? I don't know much about either of them, but apparently he is a professor of psychology and she had a tough time interviewing him.

Are you sure this exchange is worth the candle, so to speak?

Candle... So you are saying the OP should burn the tree down?

Well eucalyptus are nice and flammable.

[WinstonWolf]

Thanks for the bump folks, I might have missed this

[cbmotorsport]

Ignore the neighbour sticking their trunk in, don't bow down to them barking orders at you. Cut it down and leaf quickly.

Well I wasn't, but now you mention it that would be one option - subject to verifying that he owns the tree, and taking all appropriate safety precautions.

If it were mine I'd cut it into logs for our multifuel stove rather than burn it in situ.

OP

Maybe this is far too sensible but surely the answer is to have a chat with your neighbour. Either you agree he owns the tree, in which case you cut off everything on your side and give it back to him to dispose of himself (from the sound of it this will be everything bar the trunk); or you agree you own the tree, in which case you cut it down completely.

If you're concerned about a TPO, the tree is supposed to have 'amenity value' which seems to mean the tree brings some benefit to the public. I doubt a 20 year old eucalyptus in someone's garden would fit the bill.
