Trees bordering property are damaging driveway

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 14:10, Friday 4 April 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 1 week, 3 days, 20 hours, 48 minutes later. ref: 7388641.

2 trees planted by the house builder (Bellway) between the edge of our drive and the public pavement are causing damage to the drive - the roots are causing the tarmac to lift and crack all over the driveway. We've spoken to a tree surgeon, who said they were probably council property and therefore he couldn't do anything without permission. Can you confirm if this is the case? And if they're your responsibility, they need to be removed as they're causing increasing structural damage.
