Massively overgrown tree causing all kinds of issues
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 2 months, 1 day, 20 hours, 15 minutes later. ref: 6182190.
The tree directly outside my house is obstructing my house and destroying my vehicles and driveway and house. It completely darkens my house and prevents sun from entering causing the bills to sky rocket for heating. Causing issues under the house and driveway where roots are gowing. The WiFi is affected as the wires are caught inside. It's completely covering the top of my roof and causing roof issues. It obstructs the pathway. Everyone in the street is sick of it!!

Investigation: Completed (No Action Necessary) - Generally, tree roots do not damage buildings. However, some of Northamptonshire soil has high clay content and this, when coupled with vegetation (trees or shrubs) can cause excessive moisture loss during periods of drought. If you think your property is affected this way, you should first obtain a structural survey (often via your own building insurance company). This should then be forwarded to Insurance Services, West Northamptonshire Council, sharedinsuranceclaims@westnorthants.gov.uk or telephone 0300 126 7000.
