Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL: - 1. Oak rear garden. Remove major deadwood greater than 10mm diameter and crown lift to provide 5 metres clearance from ground level over parking bays to rear. It has shed quite a lot of wood and is a constant concern should it fall into the car park behind, bearing in mind the increased risk. Data via plota.co.uk
