Description

T1 Scots Pine - raise canopy up to 4m from ground level - the Pine is hanging too low over the shed and driveway - the work will ensure safe pedestrian access to the shed and vehicular access along the drive. It will also prevent possible future damage to the shed. T2 - Oak - reduce lateral spread over garden by 3m to leave a finished spread of 8m - this will contain the spread within the property boundary. The tree currently overhangs the neighbouring property which is used as children's nursery. The work will provide clearance over areas used by young children playing.
