Proposal

T1 - copper beech - remove 4 branches (see photo) to give 2 m clearance from the property. T2 - hornbeam - fell , tree is growing at a 45 degree angle and there are fears it could fail in the future due to the top heavy weight and the severe acute angle. T3 - two conifers the the rear of property forming a tunnel - Fell- to allow more space for native broadleaf trees to prosper and for future management. T4 - group of 3 conifers- fell - as above to enable more native broadleaf trees to prosper , to help aid and maintain future management and to allow more light into surrounding areas. For all of the above, the garden has been left wild for a number of years and is becoming very difficult to move around and manage.
