      Hi there,

      We have one lovely tree on common property. It overhangs and provides shade to two cars in the car park out the front of our strata titled townhouses. One owner has taken it upon himself to trim it rather severely on the side over his car spot, as he says birds poo on his car.

      He happens to be a committee member who has made it clear he doesn’t like trees, even though he bought his townhouse knowing the tree was overhanging his car spot. This is very awkward for the other two committee members who feel he should not take away amenity for all the residents, in that the tree is now disfigured. Never mind council regulations and being in a heritage area in the inner west where trees are valued and scarce.

      Do you have any advice about how to approach this without antagonising our neighbour and committee member?

      Thanks.
