Description

T1 - Common beech tree. Requesting permission to prune lateral branches that are over hanging my own and my neighbour's garden (38 Hood Crescent). The lower branches are growing down towards other bushes in the garden. We want to prune part of the branches indicated (not total crown removal) to remove weight and improve light to garden. This will also prevent damage to neighbours fence (photo 1), damage to large rhododendron (photo 2) and prevent damage to large limb (photo 3). We would like to trim those branches by 1m maximum… Data via plota.co.uk
