Council planning record

Old oak tree. Needs sweeping every day. Dropping leaves and debris. Causing significant green algae to fully paved garden. Has to be regularly power washed, have to use patio cleaner which is very expensive. Have to seal the paving also expensive. Waste bins have to be moved down and access ginnel. We are older now and it does cause us concern as it can get very slippy. The tree blocks light to our garden. It also has midges so we cannot sit in the garden at times. The tree drops every day winter and summer alike. It is getting increasingly difficult to manage. If something could be done it would help us both physically and we would be able to enjoy the garden. More importantly our safety from green algae and slippy surfaces!might improve and cost us less expense.
