Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL:98/20 - T1-Oak tree- Crown reduce by 3m back to previous pruning areas. Current height 12m, will be left at 9m. Current width 11m, will be left at 8m. This tree is very large for the small back garden. It drops leaves & acorns into the garden, onto the roof & residents below. The tree also has OPM present which is a huge inconvenience to the property owners as they are afraid to venture into the garden. Branches have been breaking out and there is a lot of dead wood present & falling onto the neighbouring road as well as into the garden. The tree has a large cavity 2 meters up the main stem from a branch snapping out in the past. Ideally the home owner would like this tree removed & replaced with a more suitable tree. Removal of all dead wood.
