Couple win five-year battle against neighbour to chop down 33ft Leylandii tree that left home in darkness

A MAN has been forced to cut down massive trees in his garden after neighbours complained they plunged their property into darkness.

The Shanklands used high hedge legislation to force Mr Titi to take action after mediation broke down. But he won a partial reprieve after a reporter set a maximum height of 15ft for sections of the hedge.He said: "The trees discussed have been there since we moved into the property in 2013 and are very mature.

Mr Titi, who runs a popular pizzeria, also claimed chopping the trees could impact the value of his property. "We have had extensive correspondence with Mr and Mrs Titi and have spoken to them about the hedge, but we were unable to come to an agreement since Mr and Mrs Titi refused to reduce the height of the hedge.
