Ade called for an update as he said The root has grown across the path into the car park and is lifting up the road. The more it grows the more damage it causes. I did mention it takes up to 28days for trees to be looked at.

Customer has called in again regarding the roots of the tree destroying his paving. He would like this to be inspected.
-
Even if the cause of the damage may appear to be obvious, CBC Highways require proof that the tree(s) is responsible for causing damage to property. Cases of damage or subsidence must also go through our Insurance team within the Council so we can be advised on how to action the issue.
We'd advise the customer speaks to their building insurers and makes a claim for damages to be sent to our Insurance Team.

Customer called to advise that the tree roots are growing towards the house.
They have spoken to their property insurer as mentioned in the reply to the report however they have advised that they won't take on the case as its too bigger job and there could be pipes and cables underground and suggested contacting the council again. -
Unfortunately, as per the last update - we cannot remove the tree unless we have proof that it is the roots causing the issues, and we are advised by the insurers that it's the most appropriate action to take, as tree removal can often lead to further damage.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
