Proposal

1 X Buddleia to be pruned back. We wish to cut back around 1m off the top. This is around 4m in height and 3m wide. This will leave the buddleia at 3m 2 X Cherry to be Crown raised by 0.5m which is leaning on the wall. They are both 5m in height and 3.m wide . We only wish to remove one limb on each tree and both limbs are around 30-40mm which are sitting on the wall. 1 x Chestnut tree to be crown raised off the wall by max 0.5.This is around 25m in height and 15m wide. We aim again to remove only one limb which is leaning over the wall. Absolutely no work will be carried out on the main crown or any over part of the tree. This work is to allow Restoration works to the listed wall. Planning has been granted for the works under 21/2160/LBC. Your REF : DC/EMC/21/2160/LBC/LBC
