URGENT: Council tree causing property damage and actionable nuisance at 71 Nene Place, nn5 7pr (back yard)

To: West Northamptonshire Council

​Property Address: 71 Nene place NN5 7PR.

Exact Location of Tree: Back yard facing public park

​Dear Grounds Maintenance / Highways Team,

​I am writing to formally report significant property damage and an ongoing actionable nuisance caused by a tree situated on council-managed land directly adjacent to my property.

​The tree is currently causing the following issues:

​Physical Damage to Fence & Shed: The growth of the tree/branches is actively pushing against and damaging my garden fence, shed structures and concrete slabs. ​Encroachment on House: The upper branches have overgrown into my property boundary and are now growing directly towards my house, risking structural damage ​As the landowner, West Northamptonshire Council has a duty of care to maintain its trees so that they do not cause injury or damage to neighboring private property. I request that an arboricultural officer visits the site as soon as possible to assess the tree and arrange for it to be cut back and pruned to stop further damage.

​I have attached clear photographs showing the exact location of the tree, the proximity of the branches to my house, and the existing damage to my fence and shed.

​I look forward to your swift response and confirmation of when an inspection will take place.

​Yours sincerely,

Nomu Aiwuyo
