      Has anyone had experience in having an adjoining block take some action on addressing trees which are blocking sunlight?

      Our block was built about 15 years ago. Five years ago a new block of apartments was built next door with bedroom windows facing our balconies. They planted a large number of lilly-pilly trees to provide a screen. Unfortunately, they are now completely blocking all winter sunlight for the whole day with consequent mould, health and structural problems. We have been trying for 3 years to get them pruned. The sad fact is that now the trees are not even providing privacy as all the leaf growth is in the top and the middle has become straggly and sparse. They have taken no action at all and our Strata Manager is taking them to the Land and Environment Court. But this process is taking over a year. I read that individuals can now go to the Land and Environment Court themselves, so I don’t know why it is taking our Strata Manager and Lawyers so long to address this.

      Does anyone have a similar experience? Thank you
