Trees in green are infringing on houses

Reported via mobile anonymously at 22:38, Sunday 11 May 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council less than a minute later

The trees on the green are now in danger of hitting windows during high winds. These trees need to be pruned. They are a risk to properties now and also severely blocking all the natural light, leaving affected houses in a very dark condition all day.

Council ref: ENQ251047422

  • Sorry to bother you. I live at 8 Van Diemans Road. The trees planted in the open plan bit have grown taller than my house. They also block light from my house which I have a right to. I have taken a photo. During the strong winds the branches touch the roof and I don’t want the worry of them touching the house if we have more powerful wind. I feel they desperately need trimming. Thanking you if someway you could help me

  • Thank you for your enquiry, these trees are growing outside of the Highway Boundary, and are therefore not the responsibility of OCC, I suggest contacting either, Thame Town Council or South Oxfordshire District Council as they are more than likley to be responsible for the trees.
