Sounds like there was a wall and some tress, now the wall is where the trees were?
Messing around with boundaries is always a dangerous game but you do not have the right to the view you expect.

Wild guess that they have "expanded the footprint" of the property and thought they could pinch a strip of land for £2k. Tough luck & a reasonable response I would suggest! :)

Well sorry, but I think this ignorant butt-hole of a farmer is screwing things up for all of us. That is just plain pig-headed, bullying and unnecessary and that is how the public will see it - and how they will see farmers in general.

The boundary should have been outlined and fenced before the house was built, so that everyone knew how they stood. It's also amazing how folk on here are supposing that the householders are necessarily the ones in the wrong; what do their deeds say? They seem to believe they are only working on their own land; they could be right. Plus they have put up a permanent boundary, in good faith; something that suggests they aren't trying to inch forwards.

And I wonder who sold the land to build those houses? Was it this same farmer, do you think, clawing in the cash but resentful of his payees?

What goes around comes around; the sooner the better for this nasty piece of work.

I have to totally agree here, and the field seems to have a stock proof fence next to the wall, so the wall may belong to the house, I know that may well not be the boundary fence, but most of the posts and wire dont look that new, also i thought that in most cases, the boundary fence of a house that is next to a field belongs the house, I say most cases not all,
them that think the farmer is in the right without knowing the facts, could well be wrong,

the way the farmer has acted is far from proper right, and seems he could not be the best to live beside
