Forest of Dean District Council (25 026 428)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 16-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council not pruning a tree near his property, and its tree inspections. There is not enough evidence of Council fault to warrant us investigating. The matters have caused insufficient significant personal injustice to justify us investigating. We also cannot achieve the outcome Mr X wants.

Suffolk County Council (26 005 789)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 16-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s response to a fallen tree in her garden. Mrs X’s complaint is late, and there are not good reasons to investigate it now.

North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council (26 001 714)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 13-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s response to Mr X’s concerns about his neighbour’s tree. The Council has removed the tree, and further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

Buckinghamshire Council (26 013 362)

Sheffield City Council (26 012 900)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 09-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about damage caused to his property by a council-owned tree. Only the courts can determine liability for the damage, so it is reasonable for Mr X to take the matter to court.

London Borough of Ealing (25 027 768)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 05-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about a Council-owned tree, which he says has damaged his property. This is because it is reasonable for Mr X to pursue any claim for compensation through the court.

London Borough of Croydon (25 028 364)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 05-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate X’s complaint about how the Council dealt with an insurance claim. This is because it would be reasonable to take the matter to court and there is no worthwhile outcome achievable by our investigation.

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (25 030 149)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 05-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council removing a significant number of trees behind Mrs B’s home. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to justify an investigation.

Plymouth City Council (26 012 964)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 04-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s actions relating to an insurance claim. This is because there would be no worthwhile outcome by us investigating. This is because we cannot achieve what the complainant wants and only a court can decide if the Council is liable to pay for damages to a house. It would be reasonable to expect Miss X to use her court remedy in this instance.
