Overgrown Motorway trees causing blocking of light into house

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 12:18, Thu 22 May 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7604794.

The trees alongside the motorway have grown over the fence and are blocking all the light from our kitchen. We have to use the lights all day - need trimming again urgently - thank you

  • Thank you for submitting this report regarding vegetation.

    I’m sorry to hear about the trees that are overgrown near your home and thank you for bringing this to our attention. You may prune unprotected trees and hedges overhanging your land, and the roots growing beneath your land, up to your boundary. You don't need our permission to do this. We only take action when a tree causes a legal nuisance to neighbouring properties. This means a nuisance that is actionable in law. For example, when trees are actually touching buildings and causing direct damage. You can read more about our trees policy on our webpage.

    Kind regards National Highways
