Proposal

(TG1) Portuguese Laurels x3 Crown reduce and reshape x3 Laurels by approx 25-30% - routine maintenance. Council Note: The submitted notice relates to TG1 Portuguese Laurel x3. Portuguese Laurel is commonly described by the RHS as a shrub rather than a tree. On the information available the submitted vegetation is not considered to fall within the scope of a Section 211 tree works notice.

Heights from 3.0m to a minimum of 2.1m Crown spreads from 2.0m to a minimum of 1.4m… Data via plota.co.uk
