3. INTRUSIVE GARDEN SHEDS Whether it’s a place to store your tools or an area to entertain guests, many gardens will house a shed of some sorts. For those thinking of setting up a new one
for this summer, it’s worth bearing in mind it will need to meet some “stringent criteria”. The expert said: “Most importantly, the structure must not exceed 2.5 metres in height if it
comes within two metres of the garden boundary, wall or fence.” 4. BLOCKING A NEIGHBOURS’ LIGHT Gardeners may think they can plant a tree anywhere they like in their own garden because they
own the land, this is unfortunately not true. The expert warned: “If a tree you plant in your garden grows to block natural sunlight into a neighbours’ window that has had access to it for

it will grow to and how it may impact sunlight into theirs and their neighbour’s garden. READ MORE: GARDENERS SHARE HOW TO ‘BOOST’ TOMATO PLANTS WITH ‘ESSENTIAL’ ITEM
