Description

Eastern Boundary G1 - Mixed Species Group Reduce Western aspects by up to 1 metre. Ensure a 2 metre clearance around gutter height. At present there is a crown width of approximately 3m on the Western aspect. After the requested works there would be residual width of 2m on the Western aspect with no change to the remaining crown. Works are for general upkeep and maintenance of the site, keeping gutters clear of debris. There is also an issue with squirrels entering from the roof. Specifications would help hinder the access for rodents gaining access. None of the work would be detrimental nor affect the amenity values of the trees or area.
