Self sowing trees

Reported via mobile in the Young Tree Requires Maintenance category anonymously at 19:06, Mon 14 July 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7876356.

The verge in Tent Peg Lane BR5 abutting my property 34 crest view drive, has a line of self sowing trees which if left to become established will create a "wall" and potential tree root problems. The one nearest crest view is already tall and although lower branches pruned earlier in year, it does obstruct view for cars coming out of tent peg lane. Happy to discuss contribution to complete removal, planting of alternative or even tarmac-ing

  • Thank you once again for your continued patience. An order for works has been raised to cut 5 small trees down to stump level and a larger tree where a stump will remain at approximately 2ft high, which will resolve the issue of the overhang and sight lines when exiting onto Crest View Drive. A further update will be placed on the report once these works have completed.
