26/00014/TPO - Works to/Fell Tree covered by TPO Approved

Proposal

Two Trees (Oak T1 and Turkey Oak T2) that require crown lifting as the lower limbs are resting on 3ft fence at rear of garden and also resting on the ground when in full leaf and particularly bad when wet. These lower limbs are obstructing the maintenance of the fence and boundary at the rear of the property and also the ability to cut the lawns beneath the trees. Removal of these lower limbs will improve light and space to the garden around and beneath the trees. The branches to be removed would be at a height of approx 10ft. Mostly smaller downward facing branches to reduce the overall weight on the lower limbs. Data via plota.co.uk
