Tree grown too large

Reported via mobile in the Trees and woodland category anonymously at 14:15, Monday 21 April 2025

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7460363.

We live at 64 Shakespeare Avenue and the tree outside our house is too large with overhang branches that will cause damage if they fall. We would like to get the tree height lowered (ie polder the tree, not removed it).

Updates

  • Thank you for your report. The trees along Shakespeare Avenue are routinely inspected for their condition. If defects are found that would result in branch failure then action is taken to reduce the risk. Thank you for your suggestion to pollard the tree but this species of tree is not suitable for pollarding.

    State changed to: In progress
