Description

The tree is a silver birch tree. Its location is shown in the plan attached. It is growing approximately 1m away from an overhead live electricity line which supplies mains electricity to my house (see photo). Every year the electricity company has to cut away all the growth on the western side of the tree, where it threatens to touch the power line. As a result, the tree has grown in a distorted way, with its canopy on one side only and with the weight of that canopy forcing the tree to lean to the east. I wish to remove the tree and plant a new silver birch which will be multi-stemmed (hence not growing as tall), approximately 2 meters to the east of where the current one stands. "Remove" means cut down and remove the stump by excavation.
