Hello,
I have a question that has come up due to the subdivision of our plot. We are building in a new development area, which means there are currently no houses here. The exact property boundaries have only now been established. There is a large lime tree on the neighboring property that is becoming an issue for us. It was previously assumed that the lime tree was farther away from us, but this clearly isn’t the case. Our house is supposed to be built with a 3m (10 feet) setback from the boundary line towards the lime tree. The building permit / planning permission application has not yet been submitted.
Do we have any options to take action regarding this lime tree on the neighbor’s property? We are concerned about several issues: shading, debris, and the potential risk to our house— which will be just over 8m (26 feet) tall— in strong winds.
Or are we possibly overestimating the problem?
Thank you very much for your advice!

I clearly said that I am currently just considering possible problems and options. You were also asked to answer questions so people can help you with Plan B or C... but there was no response from you!
