Proposal

3 Poplars whose neighbours have been reduced recently. Their heads now stick up above the tree line and are very tall and whippy, making them vulnerable in high winds. Asking to reduce trees 5 & 9 to same height as neighbours ( by approx 3m). Fell tree 6 to ground level, it is leaning towards neighbouring property and is in poor condition with wounds and decay at 5 and 7 metres. See attached plan (Area 2)
