Garden Law Discussion

One month later after being shamed into dealing with the trees, an article appears in the local paper where the school is having to cut back and ask parents for donations because they had to use money earmarked for education to appease neighbouring households over some trees. Media can work both way...

If Railtrack were to install a failsafe system to stop trains running red lights why don't they. Lives would be saved. But if the cost of the system is £200 million and it saves 5 lives a year, a life being worth £2 million, over it's 10 year operational life the system would save 50 lives with a t...

Another way of looking at it is that since it transfers (for nothing) to the executors at point of death then commission to the EA will be zero as no money has changed hands.

I'm guessing pole 2 would be at the furthest extent that they allow for a span so moving toward pole 1 may well be a no go. Have you got all the details of what would need doing and the cost? Doubling the transformer capability could possibly involve replacing the feed cables as well

I can understand why he has taken the trees down. They sit in no man's land and if that is his house behind then he will be the one that is going to have trouble with them in terms of in growth and root incursion.

Nip the problem in the bud early

Unless you are willing to take a risk somewhere along the line then you may as well forget about this bit of land.

There is no magic risk free answer, you need to stick your neck out if you want it

By combining 'our land' and 'a' any rows or easements between them are extinguished. If you now split then 'our land' becomes truly landlocked because it has lost the use of the footpath on 'a' that runs from the drive to 'our land' Add to that, who will be paying the solicitors fees for all this. W...

The land wouldn't acquire the same rights as a if both owned by a. it would if all amalgamated into a single title though. However if then split it would still need permission from a to get to it.

Having read both those I do not see where there it actually says or implies that a right of way MUST be granted.

Pilman's clearly states about having to get an agreement AND, probably, having to pay through the nose for it

Correct, not enough wood for a felling license, it is Identified by Natural England as a Habitat of Principal Importance for the purpose of conserving biodiversity in England, does this make any difference, all I want to do is plant a hedge, which is evergreen, maybe create a natural pond and also ...

Green space designation does not stop utilities and such installing their stuff. It just gives them an extra thing to consider when siting above ground stuff. There is no reason why e.g. a new water pipe can not be laid astute land will be returned to its previous state. It's not as if the land beco...

Green space designation will actually protect your route for utilities etc by preventing/limiting any development on that land. That said, if you look a the NPPF criteria for designating land as green space then the PC will struggle to achieve it Is there any evidence that the community actually use...

Do you really need a garage or could you erect a car port ( cantilever type ) off the side of the bungalow where people seem to park already? Cheaper and less hassle all round ( aside from routing the water run off) I bet the neighbour's would love it if somebody provided a carport at the side of t...

Is there a right of way for the bungalow to use the tarmac leading to the gap between the bungalow and house?
