Proposal
T1 Cherry - The Cherry is in decline but it has put out two new stems from the root plate that are approximately 2.5m-3m high. There is a large dead stem and the remained of the original tree is extremely one sided. - We would like to remove the original tree leaving the two new stems as a replacement. T2 Lawson Cypress - The tree ins situated right next to a local listed wall we would like to lift the lower branches over drive to allow easier access for delivers and refuse disposal. We would also like permission to reduce the top down by 3m - 4m, we would like to do this as we are still able to get a safe and fairly decent form to the tree without opening it up to storm damage in the futute.
