Council decision: TPO Not ServedDelegated (officer decision)

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

Proposal

T1 - Damson - reduce by at least 1.5m all round to minimise the size and shape, and prevent too much shading in the garden. T2 - Laurel - reduce the height by at least 2m to roughly the same height as the neighbouring Yew. T3 - Yew - to reduce the lateral growth by at least 0.5m to nuisance prune the tree away from the property. T4 - Laburnum - to reduce the height and lateral spread by at least 1m in to allow more light in the front room and bedroom. T5 - Irish Yew - to reduce just the height by at least 1.5m to encourage the tree to put on more lateral growth and spread as well as keep the tree manageable.
