My back garden adjoins a golf course. The trees immediately behind my garden are now so tall that in the summer I am deprived of light and sun for a large part of the day. The golf club doesn’t seem to be prepared to do anything about it. What are my rights?
Probably none, unless the trees are of the fast-growing Leylandii variety or the they make the interior of your house very dark and the rooms have acquired a “right to light” over a period of 20 years or more. However the law isn’t totally clear on the subject and you may be better off just pruning (or asking the golf club to prune) any branches that overhang your garden. You must return any branches you remove.
