Description

For more light and breathing space on ancient trees and hedge that runs through the boundary of 92 & 94 St Bernards Road: Remove ash tree 2, completely strangled by ivy and evidence of dying with very little new growth. Remove sycamore tree 3, that has developed a severe lean towards both the houses at 92 and 94 and is now encroaching on the low lying branches of the well-established magnolia tree that is over 100 years old. Remove tree 6, that is growing through the ancient yew tree and leaning towards the footpath and highway, thes tree has also surrounded the lamppost to such an extent light from it is completely obscured. Once these three trees are removed it is advised that the hedge and remaining trees will thrive.
