Proposal

Two mature beech trees at front of property, the trees are both old hedgerow trees and have therefore grown very leggy and spindly, almost like a lapsed pollard, the last permission was insufficient as there is no noticeable benefit to the living conditions of the applicant. We would like to apply for 4m off the height and each side, in accordance with BS 3998, the trees have very vigorous internal growth and therefore will take this reduction very well. Sycamore in read of garden, reduction of 6m all round, again a vigorous grower, which has far outgrown its location, and is a suitable species for this extent of pruning.
