Proposal
Application for works to trees in a Conservation Area - Robinia. The tree was pruned by approximately one-third two and a half years ago but has grown considerably since then and overhangs both our garden and the street outside. It also overhangs several telephone wires. We would like to do another similar reduction of one-third of the tree before it grows too much more.
