  • Please see comments from a resident. The overgrown trees / bushes opposite 92 Orchard Hill to the right of the alleyway have definitely not been cut back. No 74 Orchard Hill is further down the hill, by Oak Tree Close so have no idea what that has to do with this report. can you clarify if the tree is the responsibility of WNC. Thanks

  • The picture for this report is taken of a tree outside 76 Orchard hill - this has been cut back and was done on 26th July 2024. If this report is for those overhanging the alleyway then that is something else

  • Investigation: Completed (Reported to a third party) - An inspector has been to this location, the tree in alley has enough head clearance and is not a defect and doesn't need cutting back.
