Proposal

Large Cedar tree overhanging garden and driveway. Causes excessive shading as well as sap damage to cars parked in driveway. Proposal is to remove overhanging branches and to reduce higher branches by one third to maintain tree shape and to allow light to penetrate. I do not have the Tree Preservation Order but have been informed by a tree surgeon who has worked on the garden that it is protected. The tree and its approximate spread is marked in green on the sketch map. The boundary of my house, garden and driveway are marked in red. I have also attached photos showing the size and spread of the tree.My neighbour, in whose garden the tree is growing, is quite happy for me to have the work done.
