Corner of Church Avenue and Church Street

Reported via desktop in the Overhanging private property category anonymously at 17:56, Tuesday 4 November 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 429651.

1. a recent RICS survey has identified the trees on the left corner of Church Avenue and Church Street as a problem: 'The large trees in proximity are likely to be at least partially responsible for the visible movement to the boundary wall' 2. they are blocking light from the private garden of 39 Church Street 3. they are not in keeping with the heritage view of the street from this entrance to the town as old photographs show and appear to have been allowed to grow wild with substantial ivy and brambles also established 4. at least one of the trees is a leylandii and has the potential to be significantly harmful in the future 5. there are other newly planted trees a better distance from the boundary wall which will establish over the next few years and be much more appropriate.
