Proposal

T1 - Large Beech: Fell as tree run-off is causing damage to the render side of the property (as per the engineers report). Application to fully dismantle rather than reduction or crown lift, as Arborist advises that Beech Tree's are unlikely to survive a significant reduction or crown lift, making it likely to die and prevent more of a risk if not dismantled completely.
