Proposal

The list of trees is within the document attached showing the location of the trees and the specified schedule of works proposed. T1: Lime- Fell to ground level. Tree heavily compromised with large bees nest inside stem. The cavity is believed to be of a reasonable size, and given the proximity of the tree to the frequently used driveway, it would be safest for the tree to be felled.

It will also open up a better line of site to see any playing children that may be near the driveway, so as to make the approach to the house safer. G3: Running parallel to the boundary line of the property is a public footpath. The owners wish to fell all ash...
