Proposal

Heights Elm Reducing and shaping the canopy of the taller Elm by 3.5 to 4.5 meters. We need to be closer to the higher figure as I am not aware of the trees ever having been pruned since 1988 when I bought the property and the Elm has grown to the point that it has blocked our TV Signals. Silver Birch prune the top of the shorter Birch by 2 to 3 meters. This will still retain it shorter than the Elm. Width Elm A couple of branches are now scraping against the Bay Windows of Cyprus Lodge from the Ground Floor to the top of the 2nd Floor. We would like to reduce the branches aimed at this property by 2 to 3 meters, preferably towards the latter figure for safety. We could leave the branches that grow towards the remaining directions closer to 2 meters while shaping the tree in a visually attractive fashion. Silver Birch Similarly a branch of this tree is very close to the 1st Floor Bay Window of my 27 Magdala Road property, while another is over the roofs guttering and has provided a bridge for squirrels to access the roof. For this reason, we would like to apply for an identical width trimming to the Elm 2 to 3 meters with a similar considerate shaping approach.
