Trees & landscaping

Proposal

In our front garden is a single Leylandii bush that has grown to the size of a small tree. We wish to reduce the tree down to a stump and allow it to grow as a bush. This will improve the light quality in our living room and bedroom, and remove the trees overhang onto the street that restricts accessibility and head height on the pavement. Data via plota.co.uk
