Proposal

1 x Conifer (applicants ref. T1) - Reduce in height by 2m approximately 20%. Reduce sides by 1m while not hitting the brown wood and maintaining natural shape. The tree is very close to the building and needs to be pruned back from the roof. The pruning will also reduce the risk of subsidence damage in the future.
