There are a number of trees behind our fence line which is a public footpath at the top of number 12 Sunnybank road BB4 4PF. The public footpath is total overgrown, neglected and unusable. These trees are now so overgrown they are extensively encroaching our garden over the boundary line. Once they grow leaves back in spring they will be completely over our conservatory and garden. We have spent thousands on sorting the garden out and these trees are damaging the garden and if left much longer will damage our conservatory. They are also damaging our fence which is now so damp and rotting from the trees we will have to get a whole new fence.We would like to trim back the overhanging branches so this doesn?t happen. We do not want to cut down the trees or get rid of them we just want to trim back so they are not overhanging and ruining our garden etc. we are concerned if left this may invalidate our house insurance as you should not have a tree overhanging our property. We want to reduce the crown span of the trees to provide a clearance from our property boundary.

RE1347- Silver birch by house. Reduce part of the crown growing towards the conservatory only. Section fell large ash tree overhanging the junction of woodland way and sandy lane. The tree has ash die back on one whole side and has been dropping some sizable limbs onto the road over the last few months. Due to its location and the fact it has die back I feel it's unsafe to retain the tree. BAN33 - Reduce cherry tree in rear garden on boundary by up to 1 metre leaving adequate regrowth to retain decent foliage. As amended on 09/03/2021.
