Proposal
1. Large mature pine tree Selective pruning and reduction of lateral branches extending over my garden boundary, particularly the substantial overhanging branches identified in the attached photographs. The intention is to reduce the encroachment into my garden while retaining the tree's natural shape, structural integrity and overall health. 2. Adjacent mature broadleaf trees Selective reduction of branches extending over my garden, including those encroaching above the garden shed and boundary fencing. The proposed works are intended to improve natural light, reduce excessive overhanging growth and maintain reasonable clearance above the garden and outbuildings. 3. General tree maintenance Where appropriate, removal of dead, damaged or potentially hazardous branches within the scope of the proposed works. Data via plota.co.uk
