Proposal

The application relates to a mature Yew tree in the garden of Church End Cottage.The tree is fully within the garden of the property and does not adjoin any public highways.The current spread of the tree results in branches encroaching over the roof line and gutters of an office/garage building. An Arborist has visited the site and has recommended work as follows: crown reduction and reshape by approximately 2.5m and thin out lower internal foliage, chip and remove debris from site.
