• Thank you for your patience. Whilst we appreciate your comments, the location of the vegetation that you have identified is not on the adopted highway. Unfortunately it is therefore the responsibility of the private landowner to maintain and is outside Northamptonshire Highways’ control. Nevertheless, we have written to the landowner requesting that the vegetation is cut back within the next two weeks. We will endeavour to revisit the site following the two weeks’ notice period. With regards to your comment about the vegetation obstructing light to your property, in law there has been no tested case to prove or disprove right to light and as such there is no absolute right to light, to either land or property. Whilst Northamptonshire highways is sympathetic, we do not undertake tree works to facilitate light to either land or property. We can also confirm that the vegetation is not affecting the utility cables.
