Further in relation to the conifers at the front of the property next to the boundary line to reduce their height by approximately 50% to mitigate wind loading and reduce pressure on the retaining wall. There is also a self-set oak tree in a walked area that will be reduced back to the boundary line with the residential home. Data via plota.co.uk
