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

Proposal

Medium willow tree (A) on sketch (trunk diameter 0.6 metres): tree stands on raised patio, trunk 5.6m from house. Branches very close to roof of house - risk of damage in high winds etc. Application for proposed works: recommendation of qualified arborist (J. Mountford Tree Services Ltd - 07532 686 450 ST8 7NW) - reduce by 2 metres from property and raise crown 2-2.5 metres. Smaller willow tree (B) on sketch (trunk diameter 0.25 metres). This tree is self-seeded and stands just 0.4 metres from tree A. Its trunk is leaning against a dry stone wall, threatening the integrity of the wall. The tree's branches are crowding out and preventing natural growth of tree 'A' branches to the West side of tree A (see sketch). Application for proposed works: arborist recommendation - fell willow tree B as it is 'heavily leaning and surpressed, damaging the wall, carving away the cambium layers, rotting the trunk'.
