Looking at spending £5500 on a 4KW 16 panel system. I own my house outright and the rear of the property faces due south with no shaded areas or trees to block the light. Anyone out there know of any pitfalls or disadvantages? my property seems to be ideal?

Hi Guys, We recently contacted the council regarding some trees beyond the back wall in our house that need a trim as they are blocking light to ours and the neighbours back gardens. I was going to chop them myself but then the neighbour mentioned the council might get precious if they were protected or some other reason. So I figured it would probably be a good idea to pose the question as then they could do the work and dispose of everything leaving me hassle free. After being directed from pillar to post we had an email saying someone would be round to assess and would contact us within 10 days. Well today on the 10th day we have a letter that I've taken a photo of rather than typing it out. It's kind of backfired as they are stating it's our responsibility. I've just paid for the title plan as our copy was dire and it's a little unclear, it looks as though the red line is indeed beyond our boundary wall and encompasses some of the pavement. These trees are beyond the wall of our back garden which I assumed would mean not our responsibility. There is basically a footpath that no one ever uses that passes the back of our terrace of houses the trees all grow at the side of this path but outside of our boundary wall. I've taken some photos from our side of the wall and included with the letter they sent is a photo they took, the footpath is there pretty much right of centre. My house is the end terrace with the greenhouse you can see. What do you think? Is there ever an instance where a boundary can be beyond a wall? Surely it's down to highways or verges to sort this? Here are lots of photos that pretty much explain what I'm trying to say, PS turf is now laid and fence painted :-) Thanks.

Hello all , I've had my defender stolen , parked up Sunday afternoon, just been to collect it and gone . It's a 96 , 300 tdi, van . Gutted does not describe the feeling. The question is this , whilst I had shooting kit in the back , boots , jacket , ear defenders, game bag and numerous other kit , I stupidly left my shotgun licence in the pocket of the bag . I don't need advice of what to do to the people who stole it , i.e. A good kicking, but advice on reporting the theft of the licence . Any thoughts please ?
