I own, with my husband, Flat 1 16 Offord Rd, which has a private garden. I wish to remove an elder which has been left to grow into a tree and is now pulling down the brick wall that we share with Number 14. It is also considerably shading the garden to number 16. I am a landlord who has rented out the property for the last 16 years. It has been looked after by a managing agent who did not alert me to the fact that a small elder had grown into a tree during this period. The tree in question is towards the rear of our garden, and is very close to the wall which we share with Number 14 Offord Rd. The garden at number 16 is surrounded by other trees so I believe that if we are allowed to remove the elder tree and its root, it will also allow a little more light into the garden at number 16, whilst there will still be a lot of greenery from other trees. It will also allow us to safely repair the wall. If approved I will employ a professional tree surgeon to carry out the work.
