Overhanging tree
Sent to Aberdeenshire Council 1 minute later. Council ref: 920498.
There is a multi-trunk task tree opposite our property which sits outside of the boundary fence of the Forest Scotland woodland opposite. This tree overhangs the road, the BT phone line and our property Woodmount. Given that we have just had another tree fall onto our property, we wish to get permission to cut down all or part of the oak tree to remove or reduce the risk of the tree falling on our property and causing damage. Please can you let me know if this tree belongs to the council or to Forest Scotland and if we can get permission to make the tree safe.

We’ve completed our inspection and were unable to log a defect requiring action by the Roads Service.
In many cases, this means the issue may relate to land or infrastructure that is not maintained by our service. This could include areas looked after by another part of the Council — such as housing, landscape, or waste services — or by a third party, such as a utility provider, housing association, developer, or private landowner.
If the situation changes, or if you’re able to provide additional information, you’re welcome to get back in touch. However, if the issue continues to fall outside the Roads Service’s responsibility, it will remain with the appropriate service or owner to address.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention
