Proposal

T1 Lime - Tree requires removal due to the close proximity to the building. The tree is heavily one sided and has a significant lean over the building causing concern. There are small areas of decay present on the main stem. T1 is in competition with a mature Beech tree and the removal of the lime tree will benefit the beech to continue growing with balance. The customer has adequate space further away from the building if replanting is requested.
