Proposal
G1- Monterey cypress carry out a 30% crown reduction to reduce away from buildings and reduce sail affect. reducing these trees will also reduce the amount of debris that is causing the paths to become slippery and could cause danger to the disabled residents. finished height shall be approximately 12 metres. G2- Leyland cypress reduce down to previously kept hedge height roughly 2 meters above the ground so they can be easily managed and not blocking light to newton place or neighbouring property. again dropping debris on the path potentially causing the path dangerous for the disabled residents.
