I have a problem with my neighbour's tree - what can I do?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

We get lots of calls from people who have a problem with a neighbour's tree. The best thing you can do is talk to each other and try and agree a way forward.

If that doesn't work, read the information on our website (see link under 'Read More') about what to do if:
- your neighbour’s tree is blocking your sun or damaging your property;
- branches of your neighbour’s tree are overhanging onto your property but not causing damage to your property;
- a neighbour’s tree is hanging over the shared driveway;
- fruit from your neighbour's tree is overhanging onto your property.
