Can I cut down my boundary of trees?

The boundary to the right of our house is ours and is currently 1/2 fence 1/2 conifer trees, I would really like to cut down the trees and put a fence all the way - This would give me more space and help reduce family allergies. My neighbour once said in conversation he likes the trees and so I don't want to fall out with them - however I would like to pursue making the changes - any advice? Cheekystar (Sat 08:49 04/Jul/09)

The first thing I'd do is have a word with your neighbour, you may as well find out what he thinks before doing anything, even though he likes the conifers he may not be all that bothered if they are there or not. The thing is that if the boundary is yours to maintain it's really up to you how you do it, but as you say it's nice not to upset the neighbours if you can help it

Also check there isn't a covenant on your house deeds requiring you to maintain the conifer trees and check with your council whether you need permission to remove them (ie TPO or conservation area)
