Proposal

Silver birches x 2 - Reduce the height of the crown on both trees to between 10m and 12m. Note - both silver birch have grown so high that branches have started to break off in high winds posing a threat to life and neighbouring buildings. The trees are situated just inside our boundary and the smaller tree is about 4 metres from our neighbour's converted barn and the larger one about 5 metres from our neighbours barn.
