There's a tree in my neighbour's front garden which is causing a lot of damage to our dividing wall which is in danger of falling down. As we are in a conservation area we have to apply to the council for permission to remove the tree, we also have to provide a structural engineers report confirming the damage, all of which will cost an arm and a leg. Will the council take responsibility for the wall injuring or killing someone when it does fall down as we are not able to pay their ridiculous charges.
