A Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging problem has been found

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category by West Northamptonshire Council at 10:43, Tuesday 15 April 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7437467.

The original street doctor request was to deal with overgrown shrubbery and trees. The 2 trees particularly are too tall above house roofline and the shrubs are overgrown as you can see in the images attached. This blocks out substantial light in our garden.
