 Offensive conifers - smokie
My daughter lives in a flat at the top of an old Edwardian house (2nd floor).

From her lounge window she can easily see the tops of conifers in next door's garden - probably 6 - 10 feet away.

The lady downstairs has been trying to sell her flat Apparently the conifers are the only thing visible from her bedroom. Her light isn't blocked but it obviously has an effect - and it has been mentioned by propective buyers as one of the off-putting things.

She spoke to the neighbours to ask if they could do something.

Their response was that they are trying to grow them sufficiently high that no-one in the house can see into their garden - which in my daughter's case means the lounge window will start to be blocked.

Does she (or the lady below) have any grounds to object, if so, who to and how? Or is it the flat management company who should object?

Daughter is concerned as she doesn't want a blight on her how (or a reportable dispute with neighbours) is'when she comes to sell.

I know I can (and I will) Google this but I appreciate peoples views here.
