Proposal

I request the removal of a very large tree which is now damaging my drive with large cracks now approaching my house and and as it's so close to my house am worried with the damage the roofs will cause We have had previous crown reductions and deem this tree inappropriate as it's so close to our house and the size when it's substantially taller than the house and now causing damage to the drive and potentially structural damage to the house . I have previously asked for a consultation with the council to replant a more appropriate tree but never received a response .The tree causes excessive shadingThe tree is 6metres from the front of the house and a document I have read states that a minimum of 15 meters for a beech free is recommended
