A growing concern - 2003 - Estates Gazette (0329) 19 July 2003, 112-113(2) .

This "Mainly for students" article identifies problems which can arise from trees ranging from blocking light to property damage and disputes with neighbours. Provides definitions of a tree, and looks at tree preservation orders and the responsibility of local planning authorities for their enforcement. Gives a range of circumstances where trees can be considered to be a nuisance such as tree roots encroaching onto neighbouring land and overhanging branches onto a public footpath.
