I think the nuisance was explicitly about the pigeon c**p and the ruling
followed on from that. Perhaps if the squirrels start to c**p everywhere
and they can afford a lawyer they might have a better chance of calling it a
nuisance. A local resident has tried to use the self same case to get me to
fell a tree because twigs fall off of it and land in his garden - he seems
to be equating branch nuisance with pigeon c**p.! Really he just wants to
see the Bristol Channel and Wales better.

These squirrels sound like the pigeons on the railway bridge in Balham High
Road in Wandsworth Borough Council v Railtrack where Railtrack had to abate
the nuisance even though it was natural and they were blameless. I had a
squirrel issue not too long ago and I recollect advice from Harry Pepper
was a 3m clearance between branch end and roof should suffice- but do check
that.

What is the legal definition of 'Nuisance' and at what stage can a tree be
seen to be causing a Nuisance.
I asked the TO how much work we could do to the tree to abate the nuisance
caused by; 1) the tree brushing against the roof and 2) the squirrels
jumping
across.
The TO said that we could cut off enough to stop the tree contacting to
roof
surface, without an application for PP, but if we wanted to cut back more
to
prevent the squirrels jumping across then we would need to make an
application.
