Proposal

T1 Horse Chestnut: Lateral reduction back to boundary Reasons: The tree’s crown has extended significantly beyond the boundary line, resulting in a loss of light, space, and usable garden area for the applicant’s property. A lateral reduction will restore balance and mitigate ongoing intrusion without compromising the health or form of the tree. Current Height 14m - no change to height during works - Current Lateral spread (circumference 6m) - over client side 6m. Lateral spread after works 3m.
