Ha ha ha ha nice one Ed

im with fizzy on this one. how do you know they were not his bushes. he may have intentionally put his fence inside the boundary so that the bushes grow up the outside of it. I would be ****ed off too if someone came and chopped down my trees without asking. If they ask - go for it. Maybe go round and apologise and explain why you did this.

Thanks for the replies . You all pretty much am thinking what I was thinking .
I did forget to say that I mentioned this to my neighbour in August last year and he said as long as they dont go lower than his fence he has no problem . I have only just got round to doing it now .
However after a slanging match with me and his wifee he now conviently denies that he gave some form of consent to my work at all and reminded me that she had planted extra hawthorn, again for security.
I know that he has no right to the bushes as the houses were only built last year and mine was finished and occupied about a month before he moved in . Although developed by a construction company(gladedale) I popped over every sunday to see how progress was going and as I bought off plan I know where all th immediate boundaries around my house are .
I have thought about apologising to them just to keep the peace if nothing else .

Keep the peace, after all, you live right next door to them. You have what you want and he can't gaffa tape the branches back on can they?

Ahhh we all have a neighbour like that, I wouldn't worry too much, I am sure if he reported it to the council he would get laughed at.

If I was you I would go and collect all the dog $**t from said field and pile that up behind his fence for security, if a burglar trud in it en route in then he would either leave some nice foot prints which forensics could match DNA or would smell it and think it's a dirty smelly house and not worth touching !!

OK sorry my mind was to active on this one !!

LOL. They might try like. See if they do?

i agree with the "eff off go mind yr own!!" god i'd love to be detached.

I would go an speak with him - sooner rather than later. See if you can work things out - better karma to know you tried to clear the air at least. And for his security its nice to know you can rely on your neighbor rather than a tree.

+1. He has just as much reason to keep on the good side of you, you could just as easily see someone trying to break in to his place and not say anything....not that one would do that of course, that would be mean

Then again, if he's going to be an ar$e about it and not see reason either way then fine, not a lot you can do, but at least you will have tried.

.....perhaps you could offer an olive branch
