A man who claimed his neighbour's 47ft trees were blocking light to his solar panels has won a fight to have them chopped down. Philip Kenyon said his family's lives were being made a misery by trees owned by Murray and Morag Wright in Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire.
Kenyon claimed the trees towered over his property and blocked light to his garden and kept sunlight away from his kitchen and sun lounge. He also said the trees were causing a 20 percent reduction in solar yield from panels he has installed on his roof. The Wrights insisted the trees offered them privacy at their home and reduced noise from a nearby railway and motorway.
Kenyon turned to Dumfries and Galloway Council under high hedge laws in a bid to have them lopped. But the council rejected the move after carrying out inspections at his property. Kenyon appealed the decision to the Scottish Government. However he has now withdrawn the appeal after the Wrights chopped down all but one of the trees which had been the cause of the dispute.
In a letter sent to the government, Kenyon said: "My family experiences the following, and I maintain it is not reasonable to do so. No late afternoon and evening sunshine in the garden, no summer sunshine in kitchen windows and sun lounge and a 20 percent loss in solar yield through summer months.
"If this appeal is unsuccessful, can you confirm how much higher the trees need to grow before another high hedge application would be successful?" In response to the appeal bid, the Wrights said: "We are on higher ground looking down towards the trees while he is on lower ground looking across at them.
Our trees could be regarded as forming part of a small wood. The trees are beneficial to us for privacy as well as reducing motorway noise
