Proposal

Reduction of Cypress tree to house level. Small group of trees located at PROW and church road. Tree has signs of fire damage and broken limbs. In order to reduce risk to public and property trees to be reduce to previous pollard height (height of neighbouring property). This will reduce the risk of windblown damage as before whilst still retaining the trees (sheltered by 4 Church Road). Footpath is currently closed - ideally would like to complete the workwhilst the PROW is closed for other works.
