Subject: Request for Tree Maintenance at 160 Blyth Road Bromley br1 3rt
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an ongoing issue concerning the trees located in front of my property at 160 Blyth Road. These trees are causing significant inconvenience and negatively affecting the quality of life in our home.
The overgrown branches and dense foliage obstruct sunlight from entering our property, leaving the interior of our house constantly dark. As a result, we are forced to rely on artificial lighting even during the day, which has increased our energy consumption. Additionally, the lack of natural sunlight has contributed to dampness and humidity inside the house, further exacerbating the problem.
Moreover, the branches and leaves often intrude into our living space when windows are opened, making it extremely difficult to ventilate our home. This has become particularly frustrating, as proper ventilation is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
We previously raised this concern with your office but have not received any response or action to date. I kindly urge you to look into this matter and take appropriate measures to address the issue, such as pruning or maintaining the trees. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if further information is required. I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours faithfully, [omer koksal] [Contact me 07707924338. alpisena1416@hotmail.com ]

No action is to be taken regarding the reported tree, please note that as outlined in our Tree Management Strategy (Tree management – London Borough of Bromley) the Council will not prune trees in relation to the following:
• Branches overhanging properties - residents have the right to exorcise their right under Common Law to prune back branches to their property boundary.
• 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 - telephone wires are plastic coated and faults on the line are very rarely caused by contact with branches.
• Excessive leaf fall: this is a seasonal problem and residents are expected to clear any leaf litter falling on their properties themselves. Leaf fall on the highway will be addressed through our street cleansing regime.
• Fruit fall: this is a seasonal problem and residents are expected to clear any fruit falling on their properties themselves. Fruit fall on the highway will be addressed through our street cleansing regime.
• Problems associated with pollen.
• Excreta caused by insects or birds: honeydew (aphid excreta) and bird droppings are not sticky sap are not recognised in law as a ‘legal nuisance’.
• Obstruction of view: there are no rights associated with maintaining trees in accordance with maintaining views in British law.
• Lack of light: there is no ‘Right to light’ (or shade) in British law.

This tree has been inspected and is not considered to require remedial works at this time. Bromley will only undertake works to a tree for an identified health & safety or highway obstruction issue. The situation will be reviewed cyclically and any required action will be addressed within a future works programme.
