Description
REAR TWO Beech trees(G1)(ht. m)FELL to ground level. Reason: Trees are dominating rear garden and causing shading to garden. The garden already has a large Sycamore tree T2 causing shade, so the removal of these two trees will help bring more light to the garden and also the house. ONE Bay tree(T1) (ht. 8m)POLLARD by 6m from 8m to 2m. Reason: Currently leaning and growing towards neighbours property. Pollard to 2m to give the neighbours more light and also to allow the tree to grow in clients garden and not over neighbours garden in the future. ONE Sycamore tree(T2)(ht. 15m)CROWN LIFT to 4m above ground level. LATERIAL REDUCTION by 2m from 8m to 6m on NE compass point. Reason: Lateral reduction by 2m of lowest large branch growing in a North Easterly direction, currently 8m in length. This branch is elongated compared to the rest of the canopy, so will give more light to the garden.
