Proposal
T1 - Sycamore - This tree is very tall and concern has been raised about its sway in the wind. It is also positioned between many telephone and electrical cables. It has very recently dropped a branch on to a car in the driveway. Recommend a reduction in height of 4m to suitable growth points to reduce weight and sail. T2 - Poplar - This tree is very tall and concern has been raised about its sway in the wind. It is also positioned between many telephone and electrical cables. There was until recently a twin poplar next door. It did however fall in recent winds, luckily no-one was hurt. I recommend a reduction in height by 4m to suitable growth points to reduce weight and sail. T3 - Silver Birch - Probably the nicest tree of the three. This tree is in good health but is to tall for its location. I recommend a sympathetic 3m reduction in height and 1.5m off the sides. To alleviate weight and sail and put the neighbors mind at ease. T4 - This line of trees adjacent to the house has not been properly managed for many years. One of the trees in particular has actually fallen on to the roof! I reccomend the removal of the limb that has hit the house and the cutting back of the other trees to give 3.5m clearance from the house.
