Description

Proposed work: 2 x English Yew - Carefully reduce in height to approximately 7-8 metres above ground level, together with trimming the sides to within approximately 2 metres of the trunk to create a framework. Reason for work: We have two very large yew trees (which appear as one) in our back garden growing close to our house. They are now as high as the house. They were last reduced in 2021, and we are applying to have them reduced again due to their dominance and their blocking a lot of light from the garden and lawn. Data via plota.co.uk
