Proposal

Eucalyptus - remove; the tree was planted approx 4 years ago when the house was built. Its base is sited approx 300mm from the building and it has grown to a height of approx 6m. The location is totally inappropriate for this type of tree with potential for the roots to undermine the property. Data via plota.co.uk
