Party wall tree help

Surely not quite that simple?

If you actually had a tall tree on your side of the boundary, one that would almost certainly come crashing down should nearly half its roots be cut, then the neighb could not do this without being liable for the resulting carnage. (No idea what the correct approach is, but it surely ain't to slice down the boundary in the near-certain knowledge the tree was going to fall as a result).

That's my understanding. And if that is not the case, then there would surely be many hundreds of trees crashing to the ground each year from the actions of pee'd-off neighbours? With no come-back.

Nor is it as simple as 'surely a neighbour can't just kill your tree'

We all have responsibilities.
