Remove dead, dying or, broken branches over the garden & road areas provided such material exceeds 10mm in diameter The property owner has had damage caused to his property by grey squirrels entering his loft space via the adjacent mature oak tree (T001) Remedial minor pruning will prevent the squirrels from being able to jump across from the tree to the roof.
