Proposal

There is a large, mature Cherry Tree in the front garden. It is very overgrown and hanging over the gardens of both our neighbours (No 11 and 13). We would like to trim, and crown lift, the tree back to the cut points previously approved in planning application AT2020/0141 TCA for conservation reasons.
