Proposal

T1 - Yew: One yew tree located in the rear corner of the garden is to be lightly trimmed and reshaped as appropriate to maintain a balanced crown form and manageable size. G2 - Yew and Holly: All branches overhanging the property from two yew trees and one holly tree are to be pruned back to provide approximately 1-2m clearance between the dwelling and the tree crowns. The works are proposed to prevent direct contact with the building, reduce the risk of damage to the property, and allow for reasonable ongoing maintenance. Data via plota.co.uk
