My neighbour has a large horrible Beech tree that overhangs half my garden. He hates it as much as I do and as such he has challenged a preservation / conservation order on it and it's gone unopposed so now it can be taken down.
He has been quoted at around £700 for the removal and disposal of all of it and he has approached me for half the costs. I initially agreed to pay but now I'm having second thoughts. Why should I pay £350 when all I'm really bothered about is the cutting down and removal of the bit that overhangs my garden? Surely the bulk of the work is in getting rid of the rest so shouldn't he be paying more?
I don't really want to fall out about it if possible.
