Proposal

Notice of intent to carry out works to tree in a Conservation Area - Willow tree in back garden. A tree surgeon has recommended that the remaining branches are cut back to within 2m-3m of the crown. The tree was last pollarded a number of years ago and currently has five branches on the crown. A further branch came down following high winds and rainfall on 10 August 2017. The remaining branches are uneven and two in particular are carrying excessive weight that could cause them to fall in close proximity to the house.
