Overgrown trees / shrubs
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
Along the length of Bramley Close that borders the green space the trees and laurel shrubs are overhanging the road and kerbside. Narrowing the road and making access difficult for residents and deliveries. A tight prune back is required. Many thanks

Thank you for your report. I will consult with the Highways Boundary service to determine if the hedge falls within the highway maintainable at public expense or if the hedge is maintainable by a third party.

To assist with the ownership investigations. Land was owned by Bramley Close Management Company Limited up until 3/10/2017, until the company number 03940395 was dissolved. The land then became ownership of the crown. Please see letter ref DEF6A/03940395, Companies House website. We hope this helps confirm that our local authority are responsible for the maintenance of the trees, shrubs and bushes. Many thanks.

Thank you for your enquiry. I have visited the location and assessed the trees. The trees present are the responsibility of the adjacent landowner and not by the County Council. You need to contact the landowner to request any works. If you do not know the landowner, I advise that you access the Land Registry, to find details of the adjacent landowner to progress your enquiry with them. You are within your common law rights to cut any overhanging vegetation back to the boundary line of your property, providing the work is not detrimental to the tree.
