Proposal

Two small trees in courtyard space in the garden, positioned around 1.2m off the line of the rear drain. Currently extend to 3-4m in height with one of the trees set very close to the flank wall of the rear extension of the neighbouring property, No. 87. Structural engineers report on cracking in back wall (right hand side flank wall of rear return) recommends cutting both trees down to ground level, and either grubbing out root balls or ground down and drilled and pelleted with a proprietary brushwood killer.
