Proposal
T8, T9 and T10 all three mature Poplars (canascens). All three trees reduced by 5m to leave a final height of 11m and spread of circa 8m. In order to increase light to neighbouring properties and reduce the vast leaf waste burden on residents, this blocks the roadside drains significantly. Data via plota.co.uk
