Thank you @Lizzie27 Unfortunately it is the immediate person living in the property next door. We can do nothing. It sounds like I am spying and it is their private garden. But they choose to use the garden/patio rather than go into the house and use the toilet. We can hear late at night and smell....
The very nice neighbour who lived behind us / property overlooked ours and the next from the rear and heard in the summer and then looked and also saw what he was doing on several occasions and actually shouted them out for their behaviour.
We have new neighbours at the back. Yesterday I heard the unmistakable whine of a chainsaw, within what seemed to be about 30 seconds the first of several mature trees was heading towards the ground. Those trees must have been 70_80 years old, they could have pruned or crown lifted them if they were over large but no, clear felled and through the chipper in a matter of hours.☹
Someone 'new' along from me did that with a mature pine a few years ago @Allotment Boy . They've been there causing no bother for decades. I can only assume they thought it was blocking their light [not really] or they were worried about it falling on their property [highly unlikely] or it annoyed them in some other way. It was one of a pair, so taking one away would make no difference at all if they're worried about it falling down, but it means the birds have fewer nest sites. This area's full of mature pine.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's possible the trees were diseased, although probably unlikely that all were. Roots from large trees may also have been causing problems to the property.
We have a line of six very large (50 ft?)assorted trees running beside our boundary fence which are probably the same age. Two birches are within 2-3 metres of this house. I get extremely worried when March gales blow, especially from the east, as we wouldn't stand a chance. If they fall the other way, they'll hit all the parked cars. The council refuse to do anything.
I'm curmudgeonly this morning as a cat has jumped on our fence and then jumped down onto my polycarbonate growframe, breaking the roof so I've had to rig up a temporary waterproof cover. I know it was old and brittle but it's not going to be an easy job for me to replace just that bit.
Curmudgeonly ??? ........ I'll say I was ...........
It's amazing what rats come out of the sewer when your name gets in the papers isn't it? Son has just had a demand for £160 for a parking charge in pub car park in Lowestoft dating from 2017 ... !!!
I really don't think the poor lass on the phone was ready for a very angry and tearful mum telling her exactly where her son is, how he is, and why no one will ever be paying a 6 year old 'charge' to creeps like them ... and if I hear any more about it I'll be going to the press!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can Dove do histrionics?!?!! Can she heck!!!!! 😡😡😡
I've told her I'm sending her a copy of a To Whom it May Concern letter from the ICU consultant at the hospital and that's the last I expect to hear from them .......ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can get polycarbonate panels cut at a good DIY shop @Lizzie27. One of ours sells offcuts for silly money and will also cut those to size if needed.
A good tree surgeon can thin the tops of the birches without butchering them and that will reduce wind reistance. Maybe have a word with the nighbours about sharing the costs?

Rather than replacing with polycarbonate, you can also get clear acrylic cut to size. I've used it for my wooden cold frames where the pc has broken down - it works well.
