Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

Tree 1 ( T5 in attached document) REMOVAL - self - sown native oak - heavily distorted trunks, root system is beginning to damage a shed containing pool pumping and heating equipment and the pipes running between it and the swimming pool itself - destroying the lawn in that section of the garden. There is a more substantial oak c 20m away - I propose to plant a Meech's prolific quince tree in a more forward position. Tree 2 (T6 in attached document) REMOVAL - large silver birch - oversized for its position and beginning to damage the pool equipment shed and the pipes running to the swimming pool - there are three more birch trees in close proximity. Tree 3 ( T11 in attached document) REMOVAL - self - sown sycamore - grown to an excessive size for its position and which has the potential to become significantly bigger - screening would continue to be provided by two English laurels, a hawthorn and the large English oak.
