Proposal
Large multi stemmed sycamore currently causing damage to neighbours wall and leaning on telephone pole will be section felled to ground level. NPTC qualified operatives to cordon off safe working area including closing off public footpath beneath tree. Due to close vicinity of BT Telephone cables, to crown the tree it will need to be section felled by way of mobile elevated works platform. Stumps will be eco plugged to prevent regrowth. All arisings to be chipped and removed from site.
