Proposal
T1 - Mature Cherry tree in the rear garden - western side of the canopy to be reduced from 4.5 mtrs to 2.5 mtrs giving approx 2 mtrs clearance from the building. Lift canopy from approx 2.5 mtrs from ground level to 4 mtrs from ground level. This work is required as the branches are now beginning to encroach on the property itself and the tree is now substantially over shadowing the garden and not allowing light through.
