Proposal

Cut back branch overhanging fence of no 4 and no 2 Norfolk Terrace. This arm of the tree is currently positioned 2cm above the boundary fence. This branch is about 20 ft from the main vertical trunk and 20cm in diameter, and bounces up and down significantly in wind. The fence was being bashed by the tree throughout the recent storm, and the fence will be broken completely by the tree when it is in leaf and there are strong winds. As per the attached report the tree is diseased and dying, the application to have it felled is on appeal but in the meantime the neighbour has already had a large (living) branch of the tree break off and crash into her garden.
