Garden Law Discussion

If a farmer can put a 6ft steel spiked fence across his land I see no problem with a 1.8-2m close board fence on the edge

Even the RHS advocate its use for ivy.

Put a heavy spring closure on it so it cannot be accidentally left open.

In other words, raise the stakes by making sure that the old lady couldn't manage to open it

Were I him I would move away..

That is the only bit I agree with from your post

Your post comes over as somebody who has become paranoid about Covid and doesn't appear to be aware of current guidance. Most people can apply a modicum of risk assessment and take whatever measures they deem suitable. It may not be the same that you believe is needed. All that has been published, e...

It sounds like a bit of misunderstanding of what was said. It sounds like he advised that the tree that was on the other side of the fence is dead. He then pointed out that it leans over your garden and if YOU wanted it removed then it would be at your cost. I think he was making it plain that even ...

I would have thought that a locked gate would be a substantial interference for a horse rider

In England and Wales the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/51/contents

In Scotland the Protection of Badgers Act https://www.scottishbadgers.org.uk/user ... TENDED.pdf

My opinion is that it means

Reasonably interpreted that drying laundry on a balcony Is prohibited and will be considered a breach of the lease?

I think the intention is that no laundry should be visible externally.

They have claimed that 'all houses in Wales own two feet of land outside their walls.

Take him at his word and saw off his overhang

Your shed shouldn't have been overhanging his land anyway. The same applies to him.

Ask him for the legislation pertaining to this 2ft ownership of neighbours land

I think the Met Police need to go back to school .in spaces reserved for Blue Badge holders, Only if there is a TRO in force. If its just paint on the road and no sign then it is not an offence Be careful about quoting Met Police and traffic laws as London has some different ones to the rest of the ...

But as it has not yet been planted then op is in a position to install a root barrier beforehand. If you warn him now then by not fitting a root barrier, you will possibly be seen to have failed to mitigate the problem as you had identified it before it occured, and were in a position to pre-empt it...

There is nothing stopping every man and his dog, even in covid times, to use the row to access the neighbour. Not hard to keep social distancing at the door. If OP is making it impossible to achieve social distancing then they are the one that is in the wrong. I would think that that action may be c...

All depends on such things as prevailing wind, no roots on ops side to hold the tree upright etc. No guarantee of going the neighbour's way.
Sort of karma if OP destabilise it so that it falls on his land

Lockdown LAW?
Any particular section?
You are allowed to leave the house, there is no house arrest.

You can of course cut back every root or branch that invades your land ...but must offer to return the arisings to the neighbour which they can refuse

And if you cut the roots and branches back on such high trees there's a good chance that you will destabilise them
