Request for Overgrown Trees Opposite My Property to Be Cut Back

Reported via mobile in the Trees blocking light or affecting power, telephone, broadband lines or other services to your property category anonymously at 23:39, Wednesday 15 July 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Surrey County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9794713.

I am writing to request that the trees opposite my property be inspected and cut back, as they have become significantly overgrown and are causing several ongoing issues. The trees have grown to the point where they are blocking a considerable amount of natural light into my home, making the front of the property much darker than it should be. Although my vehicle is parked on my private driveway, directly opposite the trees, it is still heavily affected by them. Sap, leaves, seeds, and other debris regularly fall onto my car, leaving sticky residue and stains that require frequent cleaning and risk damaging the paintwork over time. The trees also appear to be overhanging the road significantly and would benefit from routine maintenance to keep them at a suitable size and reduce the impact on neighbouring properties. I would be grateful if you could arrange for an inspection and consider cutting them back as part of your maintenance.I appreciate your time & look forward to your response
