Hallo zusammen, ich wollte diese Frage den Mitgliedern dieser Gruppe stellen, da vielleicht jemand etwas darüber weiß. Ich bin in ein Gemeindegebäude aus dem Jahr 1949 gezogen, und die Sonne scheint nur von der Hintergartenseite her, aber das Problem ist, dass jemand (meine Vermutung) vor Jahren wahrscheinlich Bäume um den Gartenrand des Nachbarn gepflanzt hat und diese Bäume unser Sonnenlicht blockieren. Soweit ich weiß, gehört dieser Garten einer Sozialwohnung und wir wissen nicht, was wir dagegen tun sollen. Wir bekommen Sonnenlicht nur aus einem Winkel. Hinter den Bäumen verläuft eine Eisenbahn. Es wurde vielleicht gepflanzt, um den Lärm zu reduzieren, aber diese Seite ist die einzige Möglichkeit, Sonnenlicht zu bekommen. Ich weiß nicht, was ich dagegen tun soll. Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dem Rat eine E-Mail zu schicken, aber vorher wollte ich Sie um Ihre Meinung bitten. Glauben Sie, dass dies ein guter Grund ist, zumindest nach einer Beschneidung zu fragen? Auf dem zweiten Bild sieht man, dass es tatsächlich ein sonniger Tag war, was in London selten ist, und wir konnten nichts davon mitbekommen.

The sun is lower in the sky this time of year.
We don’t get a huge amount of direct sunlight this time of year either.
…
there’s nothing you could do, right? just accept the situation. your neighbors are no to blame
You have zero case for forcing the neighbour to cut their trees down. It is not your light, it is ambient. You could ask them nicely, offer to contribute to the costs, or even offer to pay in full, but they don’t have to agree. They may also be subject to tree protection orders anyway.
You’ll just have to accept it and take up shade gardening.
You don’t have some magic right to no trees.
That’s a lovely tree. It’s plenty far enough from your house for you to get good light. Direct sunlight in your room is not a right
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 surely this is not a serious post
This is such an entitled opinion, what legal rights could you imagine you have here ?
This is the epitome of what’s wrong with this country. Selfishness, entitlement and a callous disregard for nature. Thankfully the world does not revolve around you.
Like a lot of lazy ass neighbours who plant wretched conifers right on the border and do nothing but watch them grow, you can only legally cut off what overhangs the boundary.
“Our sunlight” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trees support birds and wildlife but heaven forbid “your” sunlight – in the house you presumably chose to live in – is blocked by a tree that pre-dates you. Christ.
Have you had a friendly discussion with the neighbour and thanked them for the biodiversity habitat and wind shelter their trees provide, perhaps mentioning which species of bird you have seen nesting and feeding in them?
If that goes well, you could raise the issue of shade affecting your house for a couple of months in the winter, but Cyperaceae conifers don’t respond well to hard pruning, so you would be doing permanent harm to the trees, losing a lot of year-round advantages in exchange for a very small gain for a few dozen sunny days each winter.

You’ve no legal rights to do anything with it. The best you can do is speak to your neighbours & offer to pay for it to be cut back a bit.
You don’t mention what aspect you’re facing. Do the trees block out your neighbour’s sun during the day as well? Maybe they’d like to get them trimmed?
Unfortunately you dont have any legal right, if anything is encroaching onto your boundry you can cut it back as long as you dont go onto your neighbours property.
I suppose you could try asking the council and see if you can come to some arrangement? But like others above have said im affraid it might just be one of those things your going to have to accept.
I’d ring the local council housing team & ask if they can cut the trees back. Alternatively, do a sly cutback.
