Proposal

Tree in back garden. Photos and sketch plan provided. 3 North Hill Close Brixham, TQ5 8RX. Tree Line conservation number 1975.14. Tree Surgeon contacted from Clear View Tree and Hedge Services Ltd. Request for Crown Reduction of Tree 1 meter below phone line and sides. The tree in the back garden has grown above the phone line which now runs through the top of the tree. The tree also over hangs the back fence which is the access road to North Fields industrial estate. North Fields industrial estate is used by multiple companies who use large lorries and delivery trucks. The road is also currently being used by Brixham Fire Department as a temporary base. The request is for a crown and side reduction of the Tree for 1 meter below the phone line. This is to protect the phone line as it is currently running through the tree. The crown and side reduction will also bring the tree back within the perimeter of our garden which is currently over hanging the road. This causes large lorries and Fire Engines to clip the tree as they are passing. The road and access are detailed in Sketch Plan AH/1 and can also be viewed on the photographs provided.
