Proposal

G549 - Prune back Lawson Cypress to clear building by 2m. Reason for the work is encroachment. G550 - Fell Birch with extensive crown dieback. Reason for the work is that it is dying. Not enough room to replant as there is already 14 trees within this group. G551 - Remove deadwood from Sycamore. Data via plota.co.uk
