Tree branches over private gardens
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4640437.
We had someone out today and they cut the branches that were overhanging the footpath but they left the branches that are overhanging my garden. The branches are starting to grow into my hedge and my neighbours trees. I would like them cut back so they don’t get entwined into my hedge. Also there is no street lighting and makes it very dark accessing my property, so concerns for safety is also an issue.

Please note that as outlined in our Tree Management Strategy (https://www.bromley.gov.uk/ downloads/ download/ 422/ tree-management) the Council will not prune trees in relation to the following: • Branches overhanging properties • Where a tree is thought be overly large • Interference with satellite, TV or other media reception • Branches and/or limbs in physical contact with telephone wires • Excessive leaf fall • Fruit fall • Problems associated with pollen • Excreta caused by insects or birds • Obstruction of view • Lack of light. The situation will be reviewed cyclically as part of our programme of tree condition surveys and safety inspections.
