Thank your for your report. There is no set size for a tree. Trees are expected to grow up and large that taking in more carbon to mitigate climate change. There is no ‘right to light’ in relation to trees, in either statutory law or under common law. Council trees will not be pruned to improve light penetration into properties. As our latest routine inspection, there is no tree in high risk category. From you attached photos, there is no sign of high risk branches
