Proposal

I would like to request the complete removal of the Sycamore tree as it is located too close to my home and has become a hazard. Its branches and leaves are overhanging the roof of my house and its roots have started to encroach on the foundation of the property. In addition, grey squirrels have been using the tree to gain access to my loft space and this is causing damage to the insulation.Given these issues, I believe that the removal of the tree is necessary to avoid any potential damage to the property, both structurally and environmentally.Please let me know if you require any further information or if there are any additional steps that I need to take to facilitate the removal of the tree.
