The man with a forest in his garden: Fed-up residents demand action over neighbour’s 35ft leylandii cypress trees. If David Alvand has lost his hedge trimmers, he seems unlikely to find them again any time soon. His three-bedroom semi is in permanent darkness, engulfed by a jungle of leylandii.

The 61-year-old allowed the rapidly-growing conifers to shoot up to 35ft after he lost a long legal battle to enclose his property with a wall. In despair, his long-suffering neighbours have united to launch a formal complaint about his front garden under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act.

One said: ‘The trees are an eyesore – they block out sunlight and make the street look bad.’ Another said: ‘They have gone higher than the roofs of our houses now. They look horrendous.’ Mr Alvand, who describes himself as a civil engineer, planted the 16 leylandii when he moved into the £130,000 house in Plymouth almost 20 years ago.

He also erected a 12ft structure of breeze blocks and corrugated iron around his back garden without planning permission. A 12-year legal battle followed which almost reached the European Court of Human Rights, but after the city council had spent £20,000 on the case Mr Alvand ripped the wall down in January 2004 … and concentrated on growing his front hedge.

A spokesman for Plymouth City Council said an investigation was under way amid hopes that both parties could come to an agreement. Mr Alvand said: ‘I feel victimised. The neighbours have a vendetta against me. ‘I am a law-abiding citizen and I have suffered for 20 years being chased over my wall and trees. it’s my land.’

Problems on the quiet road began after Alvand was refused planning permission to build the 12ft (3.5m) concrete wall around his garden, shortly after he moved in. Despite protests he went ahead with his plan using concrete breeze blocks topped off with corrugated iron. He used the space to store plants and create a roof terrace.

Roger Coath, his next-door neighbour, immediately complained to the council about the ‘Stalag-like conditions’ which were ‘blighting’ his life. ‘It’s so bad, it’s worse than the Berlin Wall,’ he said at the time. ‘The situation is absolutely ridiculous and the owner won’t speak to us. He’s not willing to compromise.’

The 49-year-old said yesterday: ‘I don’t mind the trees themselves but he could at least cut them down to a level below the top windows.’ The case took 12 years to resolve and Alvand was served a number of enforcement notices by Plymouth City Council – all of which he ignored.

He claimed the wall was in fact a greenhouse which, under planning laws, do not require council permission. The local authority then prepared to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights, promising ‘to exhaust all legal channels’.

Alvand was eventually found guilty of breaking planning laws at Plymouth Crown Court in 2004 and ordered to pay a £700 fine and £2,500 costs. The council was given the right to go to court to ask for Alvand to be jailed and to carry out the work itself, sending him the bill.

Eyesore’: David Alvand sparked fury among neighbours after he grew a line of ‘monstrous’ giant trees in his front garden


But he agreed to reduce the wall to the agreed height of two metres (6ft), ahead of the hearing. Recorder Michael Longman told him: ‘It is clear that for a considerable period of time you have chosen deliberately to thwart the planning laws for your own selfish advantage, regardless of your neighbours.

‘They were left to suffer in the shadows caused by the unlawful development of your property.’ Plymouth City Council has now launched an investigation into the tree complaints but said the issue was ‘on hold’ in the hope both parties could come to an agreement.

Complaints: Neighbours claim the trees look ‘horrendous’ and block out sunlight


A spokesman said: ‘Our tree officers have contacted Mr Alvand, who indicated he would like to explore further mediation with his neighbours. ‘It’s good practice to put a complaint on hold for a short time to see if an amicable solution can be found.’ The first legal dispute cost the council £20,000.
