The applicant sought orders under Part 2A of the Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act 2006 that the respondent, a neighbouring childcare centre, prune vegetation along their common boundary in order to restore sunlight.

The court upheld the application in part, ordering that each year in the first two weeks of March and September the respondent prune the vegetation to a height no more than 2.5 metres.
