Proposal

4 no. Lime Trees in the front garden of 86 Ditchling Road located on the boundary with Ditchling Road. These trees are 5 meters tall and the canopy of leaves is overhanging my garden by 2 meters. Access is now difficult to my childrens' trampoline and to my lawn. I therefore wish to trim the trees back on the garden side by 2 meters. Data via plota.co.uk
