Proposal

Bay trees ( T1) Fell four bay trees to ground level going up to the boundary wall of the sailing club car park. These are covering the yard and roof of the premises and blocking out all the light. Cutting the trees to ground level will allow for the resulting regrowth to be kept at a manageable level.
