Proposal

G1 Ash - Reduce the height of the large slender trees on the northern boundary by up to 3m, as they pose a risk of causing damage to neighbouring properties located in the Burling Way area. G2 Poplars - Reduce the height of pollarded Poplars close to the boundary to no less than 3m in height to manage the risk of failure due to their condition
