Proposal
T1 - Sweet Chestnut situated in front garden - Dismantle to near ground level. This tree is in decline and works required before it becomes unsafe. T2 - Wellingtonia - Dismantle to near ground level. This tree has outgrown its position, therefore resulting in excessive shading. The tree is very close to the properties and has had some primary branch failures recently from the upper crown into the garden areas. The target for falling debris is the property and neighbouring properties. The tree in its situation dominates the garden area which is a seating space for social outside gatherings. The dominance of the crown impacts on the reasonable enjoyment of that area due to its close proximity to the tree. The house being built so close to the tree has resulted in pressure to work and remove the tree.
