Proposal

T1-T5 - Self seed Yew Trees - Remove all five trees, grind out the roots and level down soil to ground level Reason - The trees are very close to the boundary wall (photo 3), the garage roof/foundations and overhang the roof of No. 14 (photos 1 and 4). Over the years the needles have accumulated and raised the ground level up three feet against the garage wall (photo 2). The trees are very close together and roots now threaten to undermine the boundary wall and garage.
