Yeah - was afraid that would be the answer. As it happens I can live with the loss of the trees concerned. My neighbour has good reason to be rather attached to the trees that they want removed from his yard. I was hoping that there was at least some precedent for being selective about it - I guess I should be thankful they haven't asked for the whole suburb to be clearfelled
The bambo idea makes a lot of sense for screening, but would like to get a couple of taller (but not massive) large shrubs/small trees in further from the boundary - but the whole 1.5 x height thing is just insane - if every house in the suburb was built the way the flats are and you applied that rule you really would have to clearfell - you couldn't fit a tree in anyones block.
Thanks
