Proposal

T1 and T2 Silver Birch, G3 Portuguese Laurels, G4 Sycamores, G5 Mixed species saplings Remove all of the above to ground level. Reason: This group of vegetation close to the house limits usable space within the garden and forms a dark, imposing mass due to heavy leans from silver birch trees. Birch have also been poorly managed in the past through 'topping'. Sycamores have self set next to the boundary wall and will cause direct damage if left to mature. Overall, none of the trees highlighted for removal are worth of tree preservation order.
