Proposal

Extremely overgrown pear tree not covered by a TPO. Application to remove the tree which no longer flowers or fruits but dominates neighbouring beech, cherry, hornbeam, fig and mulberry trees blocking light. Lack of light is forcing neighbouring trees into deformed growth. Once pear tree is removed the neighbouring trees will be trained into better growth.
