Oh dear, sorry Tinks.
Like Staggers said a neighbour can only legally lop off any branches off your tree if they overhang your property, and they do have to offer them back to you, not throw them in your garden!
When I lived in London I had a sycamore tree in my garden. My neighbour had a fear of insects and thought my tree attracted them, even though none of it over hung their garden.
She called a tree surgeon and told me I could have it removed for a hundred pounds. I told her I liked the tree because it afforded my garden some privacy from the houses behind.
On returning from holiday I discovered the insect hating nutter had paid the tree surgeon herself and the tree had gone completely.
I won't write what I said to her, because the swearing censor would go into overload.
The only positive thing was I didn't have to spend ages weeding out the seedlings from the sycamore, sent spiralling out on it's little spinning jennys.

Send a bill for the clean up and the stress it caused. Or turn a blind eye and reach a compromise, the rose bush sugestion may feel good at the time but in the long run could make it worse. Getting on with neibourghs meens respect from both sides which in the case T "hooligan neighbour" desided to ignore negating the need for niceties. Go and get the bam and give him a bloutering (verbally mind).
I have decided to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident ..... stupid or soft ............. you decide? I saw him earlier and shouted over "killed any trees lately?" I just received rather a sheepish smile off him which makes me believe he's telling the truth .... this man isn't usually stuck for words 
and what's done is done, complaing, shouting or screaming obscenities won't bring it back!
On an upside it has got me out of washing up ........ I've told the kids that I can't bare to look out the window while I'm washing up up at the spot were a once thriving tree was ....... they fell for it and have done the washing up I'm going to see how long I can milk it for now

I'm going to see how long I can milk it for now I’ll reserve judgement of the stupid bit, certainly soft and almost certainly a lazy little tinker making the kids do the washing up. Had a drive by late this afternoon, Could see all the trees along that side in their glory, a magnificent sight…..don’t be to trusting of him; you don’t want another accident with your sycamores........
What's it worth? ...................

I keep telling you Dougy you can't afford me
Doug said:Yeah, Right. you mean a pile of logs.......................
All right then. You’re an expensive old bird. Three bags of nuts..........
OY! cheeky
less of the old ....... I'm only a lil sapling yet and offering me your nuts ........ well ........ what can I say 
I'd have a word with them,get to the ROOT of the problem,tell them to LEAF your trees alone.I know your BARK is worse than your bite so be diplomatic.Failling that kill the bugger,get your car and stick him in the TRUNK.Mind you if you do that you might have special BRANCH after you.
