Overhanging trees are one of those subjects capable of turning perfectly pleasant Nottinghamshire neighbours into amateur barristers remarkably quickly.

The general position

In general, a property owner can trim branches that overhang their boundary back to the boundary line itself, though the cuttings typically remain the tree owner's property unless otherwise agreed. This becomes more complex where a tree is protected.

Why professional assessment helps

For anything beyond minor trimming, particularly for larger branches or protected trees, it's sensible to establish ownership and any relevant restrictions before work begins.
