Proposal

T1 - Mature Yew - Gentle Crown Lift to 7ft to improve light below as the grass is starting to die. It is very dark in the property aswell. T2 - Mature Yew - This tree exhibits a heavy lean directly over the neighbours property. It has in the past been routinely hacked right back to the boundary and has now created a thick wall of dense foliage blocking all of No.29s light into there garden and house. Sadly the tree seems to have lost its natural form due to the harsh management and now resemble more of a heavy pollard and has lost its amenity value. Fell T3 - Mature Yew - Gentle pruning away from car port to provide a 2m clearance. And a 7ft crown lift to improve light.
