Proposal

Works to trees in a Conservation Area for 2 x Cherry Trees (T1) - reduce to below the guttering on property and allow trees to reform into a smaller more manageable size. Both trees have grown tall and are affecting roof and guttering. Bay Tree (T2) - reduce as shown in accompanying photo. The tree has a sparse upper crown and is currently spreading over neighbouring garden. Reduction will help to maintain a nice shape and more suitable size. Whitebeam (T3) - fell tree. Tree had a large portion of dead wood on the road side of the tree, minor pruning works were carried out to remove the dead wood with the aim of reducing the chance of failure. Unfortunately, this tree is now showing further dieback and owner is worried about potential damage to property.
