Overhanging trees
Reported in the Report a tree problem category anonymously at 10:01, Thu 28 November 2019
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 4 minutes later
Overhanging trees covered in ivy. The ivy is causing the branches to break and fall on to the road which is potentially dangerous. Especially bad between the junctions with the roads going to Chadlington and Sarsden. Worst trees are on the right hand side heading away from Chipping Norton. Potential that the trees could fall completely.

We have visited site and assessed the trees in their location. OCC maintains land that is HMPE (highway maintainable at public expense) in its capacity as local highway authority. The trees referred to in the enquiry are on land that is not HMPE. You can access the land registry at: https://www.gov.uk/ search-property-information-land-registry to find details of the adjacent landowner to pursue your enquiry. It may also be appropriate to contact the District, Town or Parish Council to further your enquiry. You are also within your common law rights as a landowner to cut any overhanging or encroaching vegetation back to the boundary line of your property.
Many Thanks For your enquiry.
