Proposal

We need to reduce 2 trees: a Holly & a Cherry in our back garden. The Holly tree is located near the back gate. It needs reducing by 2 thirds as it is so tall and prominent that it interferes with growth and health of our Laburnum Tree which rarely flowers because of space the Holly tree takes up. It also blocks some of the light coming into our South facing garden. The Cherry tree is located by the privet hedge bordering with our neighbour. It needs reducing because its branches are too close a window which will cause problems in the very near future. By next year, the branches will be touching a first floor bay window. There is a similar problem with the branches overhanging our conservatory too. We would like to retain the shape of the tree but it does need reducing by 2 thirds to restrict the impact it is having.
