Proposal
I have previously indicated to Mr Critchley that my next door neighbours Mr and Mrs R Williams are complaining regarding the height of the conifer. In an attempt to appease them I am seeking to remove 6 feet off the height. However, I do not want to carry out any works if they would compromise the health and/or appearance of the conifer. Therefore I will be guided by you as to how much, if anything, you consider appropriate in these circumstances. The works would be carried out by a qualified Tree Surgeon-a Mr G Jones of 22 Briars Brook. Data via plota.co.uk

The council extends the time limit on 60% of applications - one of the highest rates in England. Expect your application to take longer than the standard deadline. West Lancashire is also one of the strictest councils - it refuses more householder applications than almost any other, with only 85% approved vs 90% nationally.
