• Bromley will only undertake works to a tree for an identified health & safety or highway obstruction issue. Please note that as outlined in our Tree Management Strategy Trees – London Borough of Bromley

  Bromley Council will not prune or remove trees in relation to the following: • Branches overhanging property boundaries or buildings • Lack of direct or indirect sunlight • Where a tree is thought be too tall, wide, large, or old • Branches and/or limbs in physical contact with telephone wires or power wires • Interference with solar panels or satellite, TV, or other media reception • Leaf fall • ANY Fruit or Seed Problems including but not limited to cherry and apple fruits, winged “helicopter” seeds, cotton covered seeds etc. • Problems associated with pollen • Excreta, mess, sap or staining caused by insects or birds • Obstruction of the view from house windows, gardens, balconies etc • Shedding of small twigs. Nor will we remove leaf and branch debris at the base of a tree which protect the tree from lawn mowers, strimmers and dogs

  The situation will be reviewed cyclically as part of our programme of tree condition surveys and safety inspections.

• We kindly ask that new and separate occurrences of different types of issues are reported as new cases with unique reference numbers to avoid conflicting information or updates, especially if at separate locations. This helps us ensure smoother communication between all and helps us ensure that the correct information is given to our teams and contractors.

  Please log separately issues regarding weeds, shrubs, footway surfaces, street and footway cleaning, handrails, fencing, streetlamps, potholes etc. via https://fix.bromley.gov.uk as a new report using the map marker and provide full location, details, and photos. Thank you.
