Proposal
Both the Ash and Oak tree in question are both noted as G2. The owner of the property would like both the Ash tree and the Oak Tree to have crown reductions by approximately 3m - 4m which will allow for better sunlight into the garden. Currently the trees are so vast that sunlight is not something that the owner of the property as the luxury of. Data via plota.co.uk
