Proposal
Crown reduction of tree to remove all branches overhanging into my garden, cutting back to the boundary line only. Removal of excessive ivy/weed growth within the crown where directly affecting overhanging branches. The tree is large, significantly overgrown, and heavily covered in ivy/weed growth. Branches extend substantially into our property and currently dominate the garden space. This overhang has materially reduced light, usability and enjoyment of the garden, making it largely unusable. The proposed works are limited to branches crossing the boundary and are necessary to restore reasonable use of the property. Works will be carried out sensitively and in accordance with good arboricultural practice, with no impact beyond the boundary line Data via plota.co.uk
