Like Mollie said, you will have to check with your local counsel but till then try not letting your neighbour get to you.

She is just a cow Mollie and i mean that in the nicest way i would not post the trouble she tried to cause when she first moved in

She does not have a valid complaint,we can see her garden from the back bedroom window and the sunlite does hit her garden.

If she does have Mushrooms growing then its because she has covered the whole of her back garden with tree bark :roll:

I have managed to find out that there is hight restriction in this area mine are about 18/20 ft by the way

and hell will freeze over before i let alan cut them

Leylandii and the law
In Britain and Ireland, x Cupressocyparis Leylandii is estimated to be the cause of over 20,000 ongoing neighbour disputes. The disputes usually centre on encroachment or the exclusion of sunlight; many of these problems end up in court or worse still, the local accident and emergency room.

Here is the leylandii tree law as it stands in Britain…
• If Leylandii or another form of hedge is encroaching on a neighbour's garden, the neighbours is entitled to trim back the hedge to the boundary themselves, but must return the trimmings to the owner. This law also pertains to Ireland as well.
That solves the sideways growth of the tree for a while, next is the upward growth. You are not entitled without permission to reduce your neighbours tree in height, often done to allow extra sunlight to sites. This is where your people skills will be put to the test as you try to convince your neighbour to top his trees or allow you permission to do so.

• In Britain, if the neighbour digs his heels in and stubbornly refuses to reduce the height of the trees or hedge, then you can contact you local council. A complainant must prove they have tried to resolve matters privately first before approaching their local council. If the council deems the hedge excessive, they can ( under the anti-social behavior act 2003 ) order it to be reduced in height to two metres.

• Failure to comply with this order could mean a fine of £1,000.

thanks for that info Charlie :E well there are leylandii trees, and in my and Alans opinion there not blocking off any light so she can do what she wants as unless we are asked by the council then they will stay put at the hight they are.

I am really not being nasty this woman is horrible, her hubby never says a word
she even parks her car between two spaces which are for both her and our car, but unless Alan is home before her, she parks smack bang in the middle and refuses to move

oh and starts banging about at 2 and 3 am in the morning :wall:

I dod't think she will go to the council about your hedge Pam.
Not when she finds out she has to pay a fee of about £1000 before the council will take any action

I've only just noticed your parking problems Pam, if Alan gets home before her he should park so that she can't get in, play her at her own game see how she likes it
