Oak tree has grown in such a way that the over hanging branches have caused / and is still causing damage to our property. We have had damp issue in the top floor bedroom, and when insurance company came to do a site inspection they reported that the tree was contributing to the water damage which we had been experiencing. We are requesting that a site visit be made by Reading Council to determine if there is a TPO on this Oak Tree, and also we would like to do a selective branch reduction of approx 6ft off of potentially up to 10 branches.
