Proposal

Tree Preservation Order Application to - T1 Oak tree - the trees canopy is overhanging rear garden. There has had a failure in the past which has left a large limb exposed to the wind. I would like to reduce the lateral branches over the garden by 3-4m to reduce the risk of the limb failing in the future, T2 Oak tree - I would like to reduce and reshape the trees canopy on the garden side by 2m in order to reduce the wind resistance as the tree is at the edge of the woodland, T3 Dead Elm tree - I would like to remove the tree due to it being dead and next to the garden fence posing a risk and T4 Ash tree - I would like to reduce and reshape the canopy on the garden side due to the branches encroaching the garden.
