Shared boundary wall damaged by neighbour's tree

[echat11]

Might be of help, is it 'listed as in listed'?

'have contacted Planning as the wall is listed and in a conservation area'

You refer to the wall as a "shared boundary wall" but your description of it suggests that it is wholly owned by your neighbour as it is included in the listing of his property.
If the wall was jointly owned you too should have been informed of the listing as part of your property.

Assuming it is his wall solely, and it has been made safe, I doubt there is more you can do.

I'd like to lodge a legal complaint so that it shows up on file if the landlord ever decided to sell. What is the best way to do this? Can I use the small claims system?

The most effective result of any such action, if possible, would be to ensure that you keep this chap as ypour neighbour. Wouldn't ypu prefer someone new?

[ashburton]

I can't see them being able to sell with no privacy in the back garden. I feel like the legal route is my only option so just trying to work out whether the small claims route is a possibility.

You have got as far as you are going to get. The LA may take him up on the conservation area business, but that is not for you.

There is no clear indication of ownership of the wall (HMLR would not usually express such an opinion) . With no such indication there is also no obligation to maintain a wall of any particular height or at all.

If you are concerned with the lack of privacy, erect a 2 metre high fence next to, but not attached to, the wall
