We wish to remove 1 x Ash tree that is leaning towards neighbouring properties and pollard 5 Others that reduce the light to the neighbouring properties. Trees to be pollarded are Ash, Field Maple and Silver birch. Trees are identified on attached aerial image. Green dot marks Ash to be removed and purple dots are trees to be po9llarded. Neighbours have been requesting works due to reduced light to their gardens. We have had a number of visits from tree specialists and have now agreed an affordable option that suits both school and neighbours. Quote from Tree specialist attached to application
