I came home from work early today to find my next door neighbour chopping down plants which are on my side of the boundary wall in the back garden.
The plants in question are Cordylines (sp). They have spiky leaves and she has cut them right back to the bark which is clearly on my side of the wall.
I also found that she had cut back huge branches that were overhanging onto her property (which is fair enough). However she has hacked these right back to the tree trunk which again is on my side of the boundary wall. The cut branches and leaves were thrown back into my garden and have destroyed a newly planted bedding area.
I'm so annoyed. I'm going to take photos. Should I send her a solicitor's letter informing her of the law regarding trespass and damage to property?
Has anyone esperienced similar problems? Any advice would be really appreciated.
By the way in case people say 'just talk to her about it'.......she's not the type of person who can hold a conversation without becoming aggressive and I don't need the extra hassle.
Thanks
