Harrow Council has compiled a database of all the trees in the borough. It identifies tree types, their condition, and who is responsible for their maintenance.
We have a cyclical programme of tree pruning, split into phases. The aim is to avoid trees becoming overgrown, blocking light or causing a nuisance. We prioritise urgent cases such as trees causing structural damage or concern.
Structural issues
Cut back any trees touching buildings or if implicated in causing structural damage. You may be asked to complete a Public Liability Claim form.
For further information email the Estate Services Team at housing.estateservices@harrow.gov.uk or contact lbhclaims@harrow.gov.uk directly.
Emergency / hazardous
These are trees which present a health and safety hazard such as a fallen tree, or one that is leaning or uprooted. Email our Infrastructure Team at infrastructure@harrow.gov.uk
Estate / communal areas
If you believe a tree is overgrown, blocking light, touching telegraph wires on an estate, please email the Estate Services Team at housing.estateservices@harrow.gov.uk
Individual gardens
Trees in individual gardens are to be reported to your Housing Officer or email housing.residentservices@harrow.gov.uk
Concerning any referrals, please include any photographs, exact details of the location of the tree(s), the problem it is causing and any other useful information.
