Proposal

T1 Sycamore - Removal to ground level. A mature tree in the neighbouring garden and directly on the boundary. It has been reduced in the past which has created a multi-stemmed example from about 4m above ground level. Tree to be replaced with a 10-12 Lime tree to increase the biodiversity of the area. T2 Beech- Remove to ground level. A large tree with an unbalanced crown at the bottom of the garden. Potential evidence of Kretzschmaria deusta. The Crown dominates and impedes the garden space. It is right on the boundary of the property.
