This is the root of the horse chestnut tree at the rear of my property. It is inside the fence and only 4 metres (17 feet) from my house wall. The garden is riddled with them as I found out being a keen gardener. These could undermine the foundations of the house. While it is a nice tree it is too close to the house and reduces the light in the kitchen. It also is a problem to my neighbour as it interferes with his satellite reception and kids throw sticks trying to knock off the Conner’s. Please fell it. As many trees of this age are falling in the strong winds, if this tree falls it is so huge, it could fall on the houses. As previously reported it is standing in waterlogged ground which is undermining the roots. Please help.
