Proposal
G1 - x1 Deodor, x1 Blue Cedar - front of property - reduction of 5 meters - Reason: to remove excessive height and shading. x1 Giant Redwood - front of property - Fell - Reason: excessive shading, low amenity value, non native tree to UK (redwood), continual damage/danger to occupants, cars, and house (racks/pipework) due to excessive growth and size. Additionally, the majority of the tree is now trunk and ultimately this tree will be nothing but trunk.
