Council decision: Tree Application - No objection

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

Proposal

T1 (Sycamore) - selective reduction of up to four meters. The canopy is suppressed by an ash on the castle boundary, causing the sycamore to be unbalanced. the client has had it reduced in the past but feels two meters didn't achieve their objective. T2 (laburnum) - Reduce by 1.5 meters, thin out secondary growth to maintain height / spread and improve form
