Adjoining Land/Woods Ownership - storm damage?

Hi,

We live on the Smarden Road at the bottom of Forge Hill.  Our house, along with 3 others backs on to the 'heart' of the village.  Between our back boundaries and the fields that go down to Lamden Road is a strip of wood land.  Often the sheep traverse this to get to the next field, and other times there are young cattle in the field.

I would like to ask if anyone knows who owns this land?  The trees have not been coppiced and have been left to overgrow so are in a bad way.  In the last storm 2 fell on to mine and a neighbour's fence/garden.   We are worried that in another storm the Ash tree, which my tree surgeon says has ash die back, will fall in to our garden, together with the precariously leaning overgrown coppice trees that have died!  As the maintenance of these trees is the landowner's responsibility, I would like to locate the owner and inform them of the tree problem.  The trees, being in a bad way and leaning, will not constitute an 'act of god' if they come down and damage the fencing and land etc.. In order to avoid costly damages against the owner of the woods, we are hoping to identify them so that they may be made aware that their trees need looking at.

Many Thanks
