Garden Law Discussion

Why does any of this come as a surprise to you? This is what you were told on this very thread would happen?

Wouldn't it have been easier to speak to the tree surgeons?

You are within your rights to return them as it was not you who caused the littering. Had you cut it down yourself you would have needed to ask them if they wanted them returning.

How many threads do you intend to start? What is the point of any of it? You are posting news about planning applications in your locality. No one is replying for a reason.

Was there nothing about the username, the post count, the join date, the contents of the post, that made you think - we've been here before? I tend not to register usernames in my memory, and after a while most threads seem to have things in common. The typical scenario is: New user posts a thread....

Surely the question to ask is why on earth have three members (one an ex moderator) replying to duplicate threads?

Isn't that 4 now after your post?

How many threads do you plan on having over this fence?

You don't have to pay for a replacement, but you can't complain about loss of privacy if you're not prepared to erect your own rear fence. I'm assuming that all the trees at the front were on the neighbour's side of the boundary. The fence might have been yours, at least where it stood on your side ...

Not if they had 12 years by 2003.

You haven't yet explained whether the green area on your plan is the area for shared access. It seems like a part of her driveway is reserved for her parking. Although you may have a ROW over her drive it doesn't mean you can't park on it. It means neither of you can cause a substantial obstruction....

Positive covenants don't bind the land. But you don't say who the transferee is. Is it you or your neighbour?

An appropriate share would normally depend on user.

Be careful what you wish for. If you want to give up the ROWs you each have over the other's driveway you won't be able to access your house without driving through your rather attractive looking hedge.

What is the precise wording of the ROW in her favour?

All of the land subject to her ROW may be needed for her to use as a turning circle.

You're clearly right. If she does erect a fence you are within your rights to remove it. I'm assuming the hatched green area is the accessway over which you have rights. I'm also guessing though that she has rights over that part of the accessway that is on your land. If my assumption is correct, th...

OK - so they said there wasn't a problem with flooding. You say there is because of large puddles. Many people won't call that flooding. In any event you knew about it before exchange of contracts so even if a judge finds it is flooding, it had no effect on your decision to buy the house because you...
