I've said this a few times recently whilst driving locally. Councils seem to have gone over the top planting trees everywhere. We all love and need trees but not everywhere or they will cause problems.
Ive seen houses locally with trees blocking natural day light getting though the front windows.
Driving to Washington (Co Durham) a few times recently was like going through a tunnel of trees. I knew the route very well years ago but not now cos you can't see any landmarks just trees trees trees.
This photo below shows a Hebburn office block full of windows alongside Waggonway Rd.
It was built with lots & lots of Windows to allow daylight in.It could even be worse now as the photo is from a while ago and trees grow fast.
