They are building bungalows and this tree will go at the top of one of the bungalow’s garden and I think the idea is they want it to block out the view of my house so you can see from this photo it’s this corner they want to plant it along with 19 rhododendrons and 56 prunus Lusitanica plus 3 thuja conifers 12 camellia bushes - I think it will look like a jungle see attached plan and photo

The landscape architect has come back and is proposing planting a Acer Davidii in place of the Silver Maple. Is an Acer Davidii acceptable to plant within 1m of a retaining wall and 3m of a house. I believe this tree also grows to over 12m in height and 8m in width

This is the retaining wall and they want to put the tree next to this and the side of my house is approx 3m from the fence.

Hi I wonder if anyone can assist. I have a new housing development being built next to me and in the planning application which i can comment on they have said they are planting an Acer saccharinum laciniatum 425-600cm 14-16cm Extra Heavy Standard. This is being planted within 1m of my concrete retaining wall, approx 4 meters from my house and 3 metres from my drainage system. Am I correct in thinking this tree grows fast to over 20m in width and height and can be a problem if planted close to sewers, houses, concrete structures etc Any advice would be helpful in terms of how far from houses, retaining walls etc these trees should be planted
