Homeownership Rights – Cutting Trees Within Property Boundaries

If you are a homeowner, you are allowed to cut down a tree in your garden without permission, provided that the tree is within your property’s boundaries and unless it has been marked as subject to a Tree Preservation Order or it is located in a Conservation Area.

Renters’ Responsibility – Obtaining Permission for Tree Removal

On the other hand, if you are renting your home, you need to seek permission from your landlord before initiating any tree-felling activity. It is important to note that if your tree work or felling activity causes any damage or injury to your neighbour’s property or them, you will be held liable. For instance, if the tree falls onto a neighbouring shed, you will be responsible for the damage.

Liability Concerns – Damages and Injuries to Property

Lastly, if the tree trunk is within your garden, any overhanging branches belong to you, while the neighbours have the right to cut them. These types of disputes are common between neighbours; that’s why it’s important to consult a professional tree surgeon to ensure you stay within the bounds of the law to avoid heavy fines and unnecessary disputes.
